Reading that link, it seems that Allwinner have been getting worse, not better. Is there not another chip manufacturer that could have been a better choice? What chip do people like RPi or others use? I have zero knowledge on this side of things, so if this is a dumb question, please excuse my ignorance.
Well, i think that the Pine64 folks decided to go with Allwinner because of their cheap SoCs. If they used other SoCs (like the Broadcom SoC used by the Raspberry Pi), the Pine64 would have cost more than $15 USD, possibly even more than the Raspberry Pi.
