One good answer is that if one is only doing embedded work for one's
amusement then thats good enough excuse to expand one's horizons.

No matter, its always good to have another tool in one's pocket.

As for myself, I read these threads partly to expand horizons, partly
because I anticipate a future task for which an AVR is inadequate.

In the past when I have looked at ARM solutions many required a good bit
of hand-holding to come out of RESET. Not all, but some. Having many
vendors of similar parts is good for competition. But the results are
not always good.
