I will say that the situation has changed and now it is getting much better
now. Microchip is now much stronger than last time in its USB offerings.
Ok it can not beat big USB related companies like NXP and Cypress.
It can not even beat Atmel in this aspect. But it is now very popular,
among small customers, among hobbyists. Actually they now boast
more than tens of thousands of customers for USB PICs.
Advantage for hobbyists: free C18 student version compiler, free samples,
28/40 pin DIP packages, active community.
