If one must have a reason, the one I see is that PICs are crappy
microprocessors and Microchip has no idea how to put together a coherent
line of parts.

Just comparing forums, the Piclist, 43oh, and avrfreaks, it's easy to
see that Atmel makes the most popular micros of the three. Microchip may
sell a lot of parts but they are (relatively) no fun to use.

I don't design with PICs anymore. The world has moved on. And
Microchip's new offerings aren't as good as those from other vendors.
