The Rabbit is OK for hobbyist but if you are designing for production I
found the cost was excessive.

Ethernut appears to me to be very complete and professional. Years ago
the license was not clear as to what was BSD-ish and what was GPL, today
the separation is much clearer. Add to that the difficulty of buying
RTL8019's or similar killed that option. Sad because I rather like
avr-gcc.

Would have used the AT91SAM7X chip had it been shipping when I had to
make my selection.

In the end used a HC12NE64. Not terribly happy, Codewarrior is a stinky
and expensive environment.
