Actually, I don't think AVR is all that bad.  The lack of 16 bit
operations is a PITA, but the gcc port is well done. Maybe the
compilers for PIC have improved (yikes, it's been 10 years since I
compated AVR and PIC), but the PIC compilers used to be dreadful.

I just struck me that saying something is better than PIC is like
saying somerthing is "more fun than passing a kidney stone".

The yardstick these days for small/cheap MCUs is probably Cortex-M0 --
or even the venerable MSP430.
