No, but I don't like to see them being slagged off. They make perfectly good 
products. I actually use PICs more these days than AVRs, because they are 
easier to get hold of and Microchip's support is much better than Atmel's, 
and their tools are better.

The wider range of devices means that a closer fit to a particular 
application is generally possible, than with the AVR, in  terms of number of 
pins and features, reducing cost.
