Did you have a look at AVR?<br>
<br>
They use GCC, although commercial compilers are also available should
you need it. I have used GCC-AVR for years without problems.<br>

Same had been the cheapest option for a C compiler to try out the PICs.

Well, the microchip one academic option is free. So CCS gives money with

I already switched to 16-bit (33FJA128MC510 and -804) long ago, and am very
happy with them. But I still use the PIC18F60j60 part since there is no
16-bit integrated ethernet part, and as spare replacement for legacy parts.
The PIC32 look interesting, but there is no motorcontrol (quadrature
decoder) in that family yet, something that I require.
