That's an issue that's been bugging me for a while... lots of program space doesn't necessarily you need lots of pins. Anyway the Atmega328 has 32k of flash and 2.5k of ram and is in a similar package to the G2553. It's very popular from its use in the Arduino and probably fills lots of sockets that a 430 might have filled. There's a LPC ARM part in an 8-pin PDIP that I think has 32k of flash and 4k of ram, etc.
