I tend to agree, but I am open to arguments to the contrary.

One notable difference: Mirochip has a hughe range of chips, compared to
that even the combined ARM offererings look pale. But for the beginner /
small-scale professional that is not a real advantage, maybe even a
disadvantage. For the professional / large-scale user it is probably an
advantage.
