For me Studio 6.x will be the cause I move away from AVRs if I need something more powerful/different than what's supported by the stable AS4.18. Used an Xmega for a project and not really impressed AND I had to use the bloated and sluggish AS6 AND I had to relearn pretty much everything I knew regarding Atmel chips and tools. My theory has been that if I need to relearn everything from scratch I better start with another brand, nothing to gain by staying loyal. I did it with Motorola and it was the best thing I did after 20+ years of their chips. Messing around with the NXP M0 chips but I don't really need anything more powerful than a 4MHZ-8MHz chip for most of my projects. ...AND Modbus seems to be popular as a network protocols for industrial controls....
