I'm sure that Linux could do a nice job in this case too, but it might be
a bit overkill to use a fullblown(?) OS to simply launch your application
and handle some basic scheduling.

In many embedded cases I end up figuring out how to tweak the OS-drivers
to perform reliably (timing), and in some cases I end up rewriting them to
handle the events the way I need it anyway (e.g. timestamping of every
character from a serial port).

In some applications I also prefere simplicity over flexibility - If there
is no OS-driver, it can't fail.
