AVR-Chat

The PIC is the 800 pound gorilla, and because Microchip NEVER obsoletes 
a part, it is the 8 bitter of choice for a commercial project.  However, 
for the hobbyist, the AVR is the better choice (IMO) due to the open 
source capabilities and the far less expensive programmer hardware. 
I've written up as many projects using the AVR as the PIC, more or less, 
and I use both on a regular basis.  I wouldn't feel bad about backing 
the wrong horse, the AVR is the better choice for many projects.

IMO,

I'm not asking which is best but why all the PIC projects? To me the AVR is alot easier and cheaper to work with.
