First Pi Pico — coming from Arduino, ano ang catch?

Just got my first Pi Pico (regular, not the W variant). Coming from a few years of Arduino Uno/Nano work. So far impressed: cheaper than a Nano, faster, more memory.

Pero sigurado may catch right? May mga things kasi Arduino made easy that Pico does differently — at what point will I miss my Arduino setup?

Specific things I'm worried about:
  • Library ecosystem — Arduino has 1000s of community libs, Pico newer
  • 5V tolerance — kasi maraming 5V sensors, Pico is 3.3V only ata
  • Debugging — pareho ba easy as Serial.print()?
What pulled the trigger for you to switch (or to NOT switch)?
