AVR-Chat

<Lurk Off!>
I'd echo what David says. AVR-Gcc is very good, and its integration with 
AVR-Studio I find works extremely well for me. I use the STK500, 
JtagICE-Mk2, AVR-Studio and gcc or asm for my AVR development and I 
consider this an excellent and extremely cheap combination. (Oh and 
someone here recommended a CleverScope, which has also changed my life!).

FWIW I have a couple of boards that use the Mega168/88 and I've recently 
decided to do all development with the M32 and probably modify my boards 
to use it. I don't use the extra code or I/O (yet) but Jtag development 
is superb, and DebugWire is not.
