MICROCONTROLLERS

This leads toward my favorite thing about circuitpython: it shows up as a flash drive (unless you disable that feature, which you can also reenable without having to reflash the device). You write code in whatever editor you want, you drag and drop (or cp, rsync, etc.), and that's it. No need to install integrations, or apps that automatically install ampy behind the scenes and automaticallyampy put for you. A usb drive makes all of that complexity unnecessary. Copy to a drive is almost the simplest interface imaginable, and also will work on every device (one of the selling points of the IDE shown in this article).
