                        I'd probably have to agree. TL07x op-amps would
                        be my most used IC. Not very glamorous, but
                        they're the glue that holds a million audio
                        circuits together.<br>

                        SSM2164/V2164 for analog.<br>

                      I've never liked PICs.  They're slow, expensive
                      and very hard to develop for, thanks to the sheer
                      lack of support - and last time I looked you had
                      to pay extra for surface-mount!<br>
                      <br>
                      I used AVR for a bit but I'm moving over to STM32
                      - ridiculously cheap and ridiculously fast.<br>
                      <br>
                      This must be a personal taste thing, as I have no
                      problems at all programming with PICs.  The
                      documentation is very good, and there are lots of
                      examples to get over the most difficult part which
                      is how to set the various switches (in AVR world
                      the equivalent is the "fuses").  I've actually had
                      more frustration figuring out how to set fuses, to
                      be honest.  I haven't played with the STM32s, I'll
                      certainly have to give that a try.<br>
