Vendor-provided SDKs are typically not good. Nordic's is one of the more decent ones and it still has a messy makefile based build system that's horrible to use

Vendor-provided SDKs are typically not good. Nordic's is one of the more decent ones and it still has a messy makefile based build system that's horrible to use. With nrf-rs you just use it as a cargo dependency. You don't have to write your own HAL when the community maintains really excellent ones, written by people who actually want to fucking use it rather than vendor employees who just have to get it out of the door.
