[sdiy] FW: PIC Programming

[MTG]

Sorry to present a contrry position.  I much prefer the 8051 and/or Motorola 
68xx family derivatives to the PIC any day. There is no denying the PIC is 
popular, but I think I will go the other direction (ARM) before heading back 
into PIC hell. Just one person's opinion of course, but I found the limited 
number of CPU registers and addressing modes painful. Normally I work in C 
anyway and I don't have to look at the registers, but it hurts my feelings 
just thinking about how many instructions are needed for even the simplest C 
expressions.
