There have been a few of my projects where, *on paper*, a PIC might have been better (and a tad cheaper), but once I threw in more programming hardware and the steeper development curve because of a fragmented support and community structure, it just wasn't worth it. And that's not even taking into account my own personal preference for dealing with independent and/or locally-owned businesses whenever possible...
