What do people on here think about SparkFun? I was asked if I knew anything about some OSHWA-related drama recently and I told Nate that in my corner of the internet (which I described as largely leftist, queer, proficient, and "maker"-averse) SparkFun is probably a close-second to Adafruit for US-based folks in terms of OSHW, but that we both represent a largely untrustworthy commercial interest so that nothing we do is either thrilling or disappointing. Am I right about that?
