I might mention the dedicated subreddit with lots of useful information (and some noise too).

While I completely agree with the content of the post, I still think that QFN packages in general, and RP2350's in particular, are very hobbyist-averse.

Moving all GND pins to the bottom pad makes this chip usable only by people with a reflow oven. I really hoped to see at least a version released as (T)QFP.

I really hope they are going to release something in a QFP package. QFN is significantly harder to solder for hobbyists.

In recent times I prefer Xmake[0] to CMake.
