Do you guys recommend getting a board with an integrated processor? As a beginner this seems like overkill, but it does seems to be the trend these boards are going with, and it doesn’t seems to add much to the price.

An FPGA keeps the Pajeets away.

Why are you even here?
You can always use a pure FPGA (say Artix 7) and lay out a soft-cpu architecture like MicroBlaze, and run applications with that. It will be slower than the integrated ARM-A9 found in the Zynq-7000 though. There's a lot of hype around the Zynq family at the moment as it does make some problems easier when built as a FPGA/CPU hybrid, especially if you want to transfer existing programming knowledge to your product design. It is also possible to ignore the ARM-A9 and still do something like MicroBlaze, but that would be strange. Perhaps one idea is to buy an entry level FPGA at the beginning and then a higher end Zynq board once you gain experience.

phone wars shitflinging and speccy dick-measuring, but you guys are pretty crap so far. Step up your game, 9gag

What the hell did I just read???

No. Look at the FPGA videos you find on youtube, nearly all of them are by some variation of Pajeet Vindalutikapopadom. Now on the plus side, these are probably top-tier Brahmin class Indians, which is fine. What you don't want are the lazy low skilled ones who poo all over an enterprise javascript project. What I have noticed, is that the the real annoyance in Holla Forums, the purple haired SJWs, are caught and contained by the Raspberry Pi filters. There's even zynq boards specially designed for Python programming, so even if they dream about advancing, there are plenty of traps preventing them from ruining electrical engineering.
Video for pic related, quite interesting.
