Arduino vs. micropython

Pro Arduino IDE

• a lot of tutorials - huge community
• the code stays on the chip you can´t access it - security
• works with all arduino development boards
• works with a lot of more microcontrollers like ESP or Teensy

Con Arduino IDE

• no live development you have to burn your whole code every time
• you can´t excess the code from the chip
• no programming over wifi

Pro Micropython

• it´s like an operating system on a chip
• python based
• live development through REPL
