I have to side with David here. Nothing is "WAY" better than anything 
else until you take all your particular needs and biases into 
account. If there is anything specific you don't like about the PIC, 
ask here about that aspect of the AVR before spending money and 
effort on a switch.

I came to AVR from the Z8 Encore! with a strong anti-ZiLOG sentiment 
after wasting a lot of time and effort on third-party support for 
this MCU. After a while I had to admit that there are ways in which 
even the Z8 Encore! is superior to the AVR (though I would never make 
another product with one).
