It was basically easy to do easy stuff using PBASIC, but anything complex took a guru to implement.
I think there are better micros/languages to use.

Once again, I am not saying that using the BS2 is a step in the right direction. I never said anywhere that I wanted to use it. I simply said that I have seen it used in a setting that needs more complex coding than what we do. So it is possible to use it. But I don't necessarily think that using a microchip processor is the best thing either.
