Don't under estimate the importance of target independence.  One chunk of C code
has been the basis for several of our products across PIC16, PIC17, and PIC18
family lines.

In fact one of our products is about to switch from a PIC16F877 to a PIC18F452.
To do that in assembly would have been a huge task.  With C, the biggest parts
of the task were writing a new bootloader and regression testing.
