Observation: the two commercial projects I did last year both used 28-pin parts (18F252), but I sell much more 40 and 18 pin chips. Maybe because for a hobbyist (large part of my customers) the 'clumsyness' of a DIP40 does not matter much, and the price difference between 28 and 40 pin parts is small (so why pay almost the same for less pins?).
