#2PlatformIO is great. If you want to do serious work, and not just mess around with Arduino, it provides a great ecosystem and excellent tooling. No custom IDE necessary.

#3Been using it for a while. It's pretty good. Allows to do serious work in a controlled environment.

#4I really enjoyed using its CLI in a summer job two years ago, I used it for making some basic light-responsive RGB leds. Ivan Kravets was also very helpful and responsive in the issue tracker.

#5I've been using it for a while developing ESP8266 projects. It's really enjoyable to not having to mess around with Makefiles and managing dependencies myself.

#6One major error in principle is that PlatformIO will infiltrate an existing Atom installation. PlatformIO can not be installed in parallel (as far as I know) and it will not warn before doing serious changes to your nicely nurtured Atom configuration.

Not sure why they switched from providing a customized Atom installation. Whenever I first used it, on OSX I got a binary that was customized.
Recently I installed it again and the instructions had changed to modify an existing installlation

#8I've only heard good things about PlatformIO, but it always seems like they sorta reinvented the wheel instead of using existing tools. They've done a LOT of the hard work of making stuff "just-work", but why didn't they do all this using the normal tool-chain like CMake/git/GNU-tools/crosstool-NG/etc.?
Is there something extra I'm missing that you can't do with the existing tools? Or is it to get some kind of lock-in and promote a commercial product? I've only done a very little programming for Arduino and the ESP8266 (where you can get the normal toolchain running... with some effort), but I got the impression that the embedded world has been trying to move away from magic "platforms" that do things for you in the background
