Re: "ARM's larger and healthier software ecosystem?"

I'd have to disagree that it was the advent of the RPis that advanced Linux development/porting on ARM and instead it was actually the state of Linux on ARM, especially with the advent of armhf, that made the RPis viable.

Debian has been running on ARM since August 2000; the first RPis were released in February 2012.
