Breakout boards / FT2332H Why?
So hopefully this doesn't come out sounding like a trollish question but what's the reasoning behind the FT2332H breakout board?

For Serial logging from a micro the bus pirate seems just as good, though I'm guessing not as fast if you are running really high rates.
For i2c/SPI testing the bus pirate has all that nice firmware logic built in.
For JTAG I could see it being useful but its much less so without a 20 pin header.

The only thing I could think to use this for is if I had a design that needed USB and wanted to test out this chip for inclusion.  But then if you are at the design stage of a project why not pick a micro with USB already baked in?

OK so where am I wrong and what am I missing?  Why is this thing the best thing since sliced bread?
