Piotr,

they are 1 and 2 because they have been around for many years, because
they provide low cost tools, had early flash memory and are (at least
the AVR) good to program. 

The ARM will be coming up more and more because it is a standard
supported by many companies with much higerh performance than PIC or
AVR and similar pricing (for similar memory).

Go and find all the "secrets" (e.g. check the ARM website may be you
will find a JTAG spec), then publish them and may be then even in
Poland ARM can become #1

No offense please, Bob
