Love the screen
Driving the RGB LCD was easier than expected. Documentation is decent once you find the right wiki pages.

Solid hobbyist board
Great price point. Wish it had more IO pins broken out, but understandable given the size.

Good value, minor setup issues
Hardware is solid and cheap. Driver installation on Windows took some troubleshooting but works well now.
