As long as Parallax has a supply of SX chips there would be no point in supporting PIC chips.  When I accidentally statred this thread I thought the EOL announcement meant that the SX would not be available in the near future.  However, it seems like parts will be available for years.
 

Once Parallax runs out of SX chips they will be out of the microcontroller business.  The Prop and the Stamps are nice products, but there are many applications where the SX is the perfect chip.  In a world without the SX many of use will migrate to PIC chips.  I think it would make sense for Parallax to support and sell a few varieties of the PIC chip.  Parallax management has made it clear that they don't want to do that.  Anyhow, it's probably a moot point for the next ten years.
