I think I really just have to give people the option... While I think pretty much everyone is capable of soldering the connectors, it still puts a lot of people off getting started - especially if they haven't done anything like it before.
I'd prefer to just supply a bare board too - but given Espruino is all about how easy it is to get started, I think it makes a lot of sense to have one version with pins.
