I am very happy with the SX and sad to hear about the EOL. I have developed a product around it as a small business startup and it's a scary thought that eventually I will need to find an alternative. The SX is affordable and fast with plenty of I/O for most of the things I'd want to do. Parallax has been great so far and the support for the SX is why I will seriously consider the Propeller as a replacement. I am pretty sure from reading up on the Propeller that it'd do everything I need also, but not without a heafty increase in price and board space over the current SX I'm using. The EOL announcment means I'll have to put additional development time into learning a new processor and integrating it into my product, plus the added cost of retooling up for redesigned components. It is not going to be an easy switch!

At any rate, I am hopeful something good will come out of this and I appreciate the forward manner in which Parallax announced the EOL. It will give me some time to make adjustments and hopefully find a suitable alternative.
