Small form-factor microcontroller board families

Which of the following board types / eco-systems do you think has the largest exposure and has been used in real projects the most?

 

This is about form factors smaller than the standard Arduino Uno format. I am thinking about new shields and want to put a second connector option on there to make it more flexible. It is going to be a display function, so I am not really interested in the higher power computer modules like RaspberryPi and such which already have video output.

    The most popular will use the Arduino IDE. I think it will boil down to price and availability between the new Nano, MKR and Feather. I suspect the MKR will see more cloning in the short term that will…

    This is a tough one since we only get 1 vote. Many of these boards are very popular. I picked ESP32 / 8266 because of the wifi, but of course the other choices are also good.

    Some of your category choices seem confusing. Firstly, the Sparkfun Qwiic does not really fit as a dev board form factor. It is a connection system for any dev boards. I see that Adafruit have adopted…

    Hey Allen,

    Thanks for voting.

    I might have not worded this very clear, I am doing this poll not to find out what people would like to see, but more what they are seeing what is out there in terms of market penetration. That would give me a datapoint to not pick an interface that nobody would use. I hope that makes sense.
