Intel powers an Arduino for the first time with new “Galileo” board (ars technica)
I think that thinking this board as an Arduino compatible board is quite limiting.
Oh, sure. But the important thing is that this is “Arduino board plus something” (similar to Arduino Yún in the spirit if not in capabilities).
It's easy to create cheap development board (think STM32), but if it's not in “Arduino family” then people can not start using it easily.
The only gain is that an hobbyist can start from a quite know environment.
Sure, but this is large gain. Before you can learn to run you need to learn to walk! That's why Arduino (which is very underpowered and significantly overpriced) is so popular!
And if you started with Arduino then obviously you'll want to work with something Arduino-compatible.
