Are those still in use? With how cheap modern MCUs got, it kinda seems like it often makes more sense to get smth a bit more powerful and get the benefits of overall easier and faster development. May be wrong here, tho -- it's not like I compared numbers or something
Addit: I mean, 8 bit may easily still be a bit cheaper, yet corps will likely spend more than the difference in price paying devs
