Arduino command line interface

In the past I&#x27;ve had a great experience with PlatformIO which has a CLI and a front-end in Atom+VSCode<p>In contrast to Arduino, I&#x27;ve found it does a great job of handling your dependencies.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platformio.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platformio.org&#x2F;</a>

This is great! Really like the idea of being able to move a lot of manual IDE setup&#x2F;usage to a Makefile. After using the IDE for 3 years now, has anyone used a different IDE that boasts a lot of the same features but is a bit more... friendly?<p>edit: I guess we can use any IDE we want with this CLI, and make tooling around the CLI. I meant the question in past tense :)

Arduino co-founder here. Let me know if you have questions and suggestions. We have a lot of features in the making so your suggestions can help us shape the roadmap

This is really exiting to me, I&#x27;ve wanted a native cross platform Arduino toolchain.

Excellent, one of my major gripes with arduino is that you couldn’t upload code remotely on a headless machine. This is a very useful for embedded systems in hard to reach or sealed off places.

Boggles my mind how little Arduino has advanced since it was introduced. Just use mBed.
