Let's keep the smileys as flame shields. But seriously: *I* think the
opposite is true, so it balances out.

But I can find of some specific things that are realy better done with a
PIC than with an AVR. Don't press me to give an example now, but I am
sure I can find something. And if not with a PIC than with an SX, try to
beat 75 MIPS with your lousy 16! (all PICs blushing at 10 MIPS tops, but
the 30F's are coming, maybe even this year).

But what is realy special about AVR compared to PICs? I'm no AVR
specialist, so I am just thinking aloud. A/D with better resolution? 3
UARTs on a cheap low-pin-count part? Fast interface to external memory?
USB interface on a flash chip?
