the important question - well from my point if view anyway :-)

Is reprap firmware more robust in it's compilation and uploading ?
Most of the time when I piss about with IDE and a firmware it either won't compile and won't tell me why or compiles and nothing works.

I admit i try to mess with firmware as infrequently as possible and have yet to see any reason to change any firmware on my working machines.

But I will need to setup my skr 1.4turbo board and screen on my cheapo prusa clone.
And maybe also do something with the sapphire pro - when i remember to get my mate to bring his soldering iron with him.
Plus currently got work on - so workbench is either occupied with base units or laptops.

But if it's easier either to setup OR to maintain (like the sound of just changing individual settings without mucking about with re-compiling.)

So is it better for those of us who are firmware averse ?
