The software for it is developed, designed and documented to far higher

smaller user bases than more traditional desktop development tools. So
it can take longer to find and fix issues than in the commercial world.


It's certainly better than domestic retaill stuff, no doubt. But still
long term reliability varies a lot. Engineering for reliability is not as
easy as it looks.


Military kits is allowed to use leaded solder ;-)


I reckon one of the most important differences is vibration-proofing
