So far I've not taken much interest in Energia but I wanted to check in case I'm missing something.
What I'm wondering is if there's any benefit looking at Energia if I'm already familiar with CCS? I can see that Energia is great for getting on board with the MSP430 if you're used to the Arduino, but I've never used Arduino and have no plans to.
As far as I'm aware Energia, like Arduino, doesn't have the ability to use SBW/JTAG to set a breakpoint so you can step through and inspect running code and variables. That to me is enough of a downside that I'll stick to CCS. I know that you can send debug output and that breakpoints are less useful if interrupts and timers are key to your code, but coming from a C#/Java development background this is what I'm used to.
Maybe I'm wrong about this or maybe I've missed something, so I thought I'd ask.
