Continuing the off topic theme, I have to say that, in my experience, how people view projects is very dependant on how old they are. Those drought up in the digital age, for the most part, only think in digital answers whereas those of us that cut on teeth on electronics in the 50s tend to think in discrete components but have learned to use 'that which does the job best'.
There are, of course, exceptions as always in life.

if you can learn to program an Arduino board you can learn enough about electronics to know when you need or don't need a uC

You would think so Mark, but it isn't always so as my interviewing potential electronics engineers has shown.
