The Adafruit ItsyBitsy RP2040 offers a well-balanced compromise between size and GPIO pin count, making it ideal for projects needing more I/O than the QT Py without the bulk of the Feather. While the lack of a Stemma-Qt connector is a minor drawback, the board's $10 price point and strong software support make it an excellent middle-ground choice.
