This... is going to be... Very bad IMHO. Maybe they will make things more superior? Or maybe Microchip will steal certain qualities of the AVR for the PIC line, and bury the rest into the ground. And with it, all the open-source ability to compile for it, requiring their horrifyingly bad bloatware to do it like the PIC.

I close this topic.
All this panicking and crystal ball viewing does not help. the forum is not intended for that. if you want to know more, send an email to atmel and ask them.
atmels sells millions of chips. do you really think they will stop selling these in favor of pic? i do not see that happen.
