The C tools are almost free (beer). No Forth vendor can compete with 
free beer.

It is interesting part that on 32 bit CPUs there are reasons to ignore
free (beer) in favour of functionality.

The PIC24/3x family is the first PIC family that could justify MPE's
attention. However, we have yet to convince ourselves that it is a
good commercial proposition.  On a technical basis, it would make a
good VFX target.
