....that is the usual reaction, but they haven't gained much traction in=20
the industry.  I think their clever, useful, but unorthodox architecture=20
makes them a risk for a lot of commercial designs.  No way to swap it=20
for a competitor's chip and tweak code a little if supply lead-times=20
gets long.  Etc.  A hassle to do for any microcontroller, but impossible=20
when using a propeller.

For high-end hobby, its pretty fantastic.

For advancing one's career in the EE design world, I suggest getting=20
into FPGAs.
