- Software development is one aspect of embedded systems. There are just more issues/concerns in embedded software than there are in "regular" software development.
- Embedded system design is half software. Your question would make more sense if you asked, "Should I get into hardware or software?" and the answer would still contain elements of the fact that they are still interconnected. As a software engineer, you won't be able to neglect hardware, and vice versa for a hardware engineer. I myself prefer embedded systems to say PC architecture, because you don't have to deal with microsoft as much, but that's just me.
