This is something that isn't often mentioned when AVR and PIC
enthusiasts argue.

Everything I've read on the subject suggests that Microchip's
microcontroller range is optimised for cheap devices, i.e. lower
production cost, while Atmel's is optimised for libre
development tools, fewer bugs and better doc, i.e. lower
development costs.

Seeing as most of us deal with small runs or prototypes, that
would make AVR the logical choice. And yet PIC projects seem to
outnumber AVR projects.

Am I missing something ?
