Agreed.

However, I've still bought one to experiment with because, unlike PICAXE
chips, I can program it in C, its already mounted on a small PCB and it
is slightly cheaper than the equivalent PICAXE I need for my project.

Like the PICAXE, it can also do the things I need without any extra
circuitry, such as detecting whether a switch is on or off, direct
control of servos and of speed controllers for brushless electric motors
(via its PWM outputs).
