The results are in: The Raspberry Pi 3 is the most desired maker SBC by a 4-to-1 margin. In other trends: x86 SBCs and Linux/Arduino hybrids get a boost.
More than ever, it's a Raspberry Pi world, and other Linux hacker boards are just living in it. Our 2017 hacker board survey gives the Raspberry Pi 3 a total of 2,583 votes — four times the number of the second-ranked board, the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
[...] Note that by "votes" we are referring to Borda rankings that combine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice rankings [...]
So, which if any credit-card-sized computers are you lot playing around with?

That depends on the application. You need to know your requirements first, then spec accordingly.

Right. But the criticism of OP is more general. Fundamental design issues with the Pi. So I was on purpose asking for a comparable device, with less problems.
Note that I am not asking for a solution to a personal or work-related project. Though I occasionally play a bit with Arduino's for datalogger projects (I work at an university), I rarely see the need to use something with an OS.
