This is big stupid drama but there's a long thread about it on hackernews.

Don't really care about the drama, but I can appreciate this:

this is exactly why we do open source. when a closed product or exclusive channel is used as leverage, the correct response is to remove the leverage.

Meh, it's sort of an empty gesture, as discussed in the HN thread. The "competitor" is a somewhat-compatible Teensy 3 clone that uses a different processor with roughly similar cpu performance. It doesn't compete with the much faster Teensy 4 which is the only model that PJRC currently sells. And these types of boards aren't generally about CPU performance anyway. If you want fast computing, get a Linux board or similar. These boards are about stuff like analog i/o.
