I agree. A lot of Philips users use Keil, but they're not so popular
among Atmel, Freescale, or TI users. In fact, I think Philips is
probably the only ARM vendor that shows Keil tools in the #1 spot.

But I don't mean to imply Keil is bad. When they started making ARM
tools I thought they were a joke, but they really worked hard and
earned a good reputation.

I seriously hope the ARM company will give them some autonomy and not
try to manage them to death. With all honesty I'm quite sure at least
some of the Keil engineers are sending out resumes now. I know I would be!
