There is (or has been) an AVR list. And a scenix list. And an 8051 list that is a least active if generally boring... For some reason, the PICList is unusually "lively" - even the off-topic emails seem to be more relevant and interesting than those that occur (or have occurred) on other mailing lists. I suspect it has a lot to do with the PIC's broad market "niche" that spans students, hobbyists, small and large businesses. A lot of users of other microcomputer architectures could benefit from the discussions that occur here on algorithms, peripherals, business, manufacturing, and so on...
