Just took a look there. Man they really seem to hate anything that isn't 1000% open source or made in China.

This is probably what I'm gonna end up doing, but hopefully I can find a better community

Not sure what you were expecting. You're not going to find much support for Windows or Mac which means you need both good tools and support so it's open source or bust. The only time I ever run into problems is when Chinese developers like OrangePi require shitty windows flash utility for flashing rockchip IMG files.
