The hobbyist are extremely talented compared to the 8051 crowd. I recently did a LCD 84 X 84 graphical interface and research the web. I couldn't even find one 8051 interface. There were two guys who tried but gave up in failure. They must have been fifteen PICs project complete with schematics and software (both in assembler and c)
That is wonderful for the 'copy artists' but what good does it do to those that actually want to learn?

re 'copy artists' is it not incorrect when yoy state "I recently did" when yoy continue "I found it on the web"?

PICs outsell the 8051. They are the number one largest producer of MCUs in the world.
WRONG! Microchip sell more uCs tha any single manufacturer of the '51 but the accumulated production of the '51 from all manufacturers is far more than Microchips output.

                  oh sorry...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Datasheets are terrible...            01/01/70 00:00      
   I hear you brother!            01/01/70 00:00      
      to PIC or not to PIC            01/01/70 00:00      
      8051-like "instruction set" for PICs            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why PICs? Let me count the ways            01/01/70 00:00

                  Equally talented            01/01/70 00:00      
            Have you heard of copyright            01/01/70 00:00      
               Your employees can\'t have hobbies?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  You've never heard of ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Really?            01/01/70 00:00

            I can\'t blame him.            01/01/70 00:00      
               PICs are low consumption            01/01/70 00:00      
                  ...So are LPC            01/01/70 00:00      
                     how much exactly?            01/01/70 00:00      
                         Not at the moment            01/01/70 00:00      
                        did you check the \"user giude\"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           that's even more confusing            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this is 'to be found out'            01/01/70 00:00

      PICs outsell the 8051??            01/01/70 00:00      
         Both outsold by 68HC05            01/01/70 00:00      
      a comment and a correction            01/01/70 00:00      
      All these wonders, yet the 805x still outsells it!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Market share            01/01/70 00:00      
      Lots of 8051s now            01/01/70 00:00      
   PICky, PICky, PICky...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Continuing...            01/01/70 00:00      
      35 instruction            01/01/70 00:00      
         Very accurate            01/01/70 00:00      
      ARGH!            01/01/70 00:00      
   sorry, could not help it            01/01/70 00:00      
   How do you confuse an embedded developer?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Nice one            01/01/70 00:00      
   PIC Assembly is tough.            01/01/70 00:00      
   site            01/01/70 00:00      
      start here            01/01/70 00:00      
         and for PIC 'c' programming...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Free C compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
               agreed but....            01/01/70 00:00
