In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, punmaster wrote:

The SX has been my favorite microcontrollers for a long time, for a lot of reasons. Its small size, high clock speed, low cost, and simple instruction set made it one of the best possible chips for a great many applications. Unfortunately, it seems that if the SX goes, so will my respect and loyalty for Parallax. The Propeller is a nice chip, but it serves a completely different market that the SX did. Replacing the SX in my designs with a Propeller would be like putting a mainframe in a coffee maker. So I will pray tonight that by some miracle, Parallax obtains the necessary assets from Ubicom to keep the SX alive. But if the SX is destined to die, then I am afraid that unless Parallax has a completely new product up its sleeve to fill this gaping hole, one of its biggest supporters will be forced to tearfully browse the product lines of the likes of Microchip and Atmel. :(
