They're running on mindshare momentum these days. I don't think the Arduino platform has really improved at all in the last 3 years. mBed is far superior at this point in almost every way.

I do agree that Arduino hasn't really kept up with the competition. There are tons of alternatives doing interesting things - Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Tessel, spark.io, Teensy, mBed. My personal favorite has to be Teensy product line. Hard to beat an ARM Cortex-MO+ for $11 http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensyLC.html

Spark's Photon seems like a much better deal at only $19

mBed is being driven by a chipmaker (ARM). Arduino is not. If they drop the Atmel chip and find another, they'll break off with the older devices.

The $13 TI Tiva Series C LaunchPad model EK-TM4C123GXL is worth a look if you are looking at the Teensy.

But it's more than mindshare, Arduino is being adopted by lots of boards as a hardware and software standard.
