RE: [lpc2000] Looking to buy compiler

I use Keil and like it a lot.  What few problems with the compiler I've
found had been fixed with in several days.  The support is great.

There are going to be a lot of people suggesting GNU and while I sure it a
powerful development tool I can't stand to use it.  I'm a hardware engineer
that programs and I don't want to have to be a frigg'n GNU expert just to
use a compiler.  I compare buying a compiler to buying a car;  buy
Keil/Iar/... and you get a fully assembled car, use GNU and you get a box
full of unlabeled parts, crappy documentation, no support, and you put your
own car together out of these parts...

If you want a great tool that is well supported grab Keil or one of the
other commercial compiler packages.
