I do not want to highjack another thread , but would like to hear some group comments on selection of microcontrollers for projects.
After reading some comments here I feel it is a time to ditch my controller and go for something new.
Basically my old controller was a stand alone circuitry with flaky serial interface and programmed in flavor of Basic. I have been looking to add USB ?breakout? circuit but now I realize that there are devices on market with USB and other interfaces build in , can be programmed in C and with plenty of memory.
However, in past I have been unlucky to pick a device which did not became popular ( 3 varactor diodes in one IC, single (!) bit microcontroller etc.) and were soon out of production.
I am seeking group opinions on what microcontroller works for you and which one did not.

PS I am not sure if we can avoid ?plugs" by not naming vendors and still have reasonably accurate discussion here.
