> low-cost debuggers Seriously, have you tried any other micros? PICs were historically on the *expensive* side of debuggers (ugh ICD2, nevermind the ICE era), until PICkit came along. By then other micros had cheap debuggers too.

> interrupt latency Except for the part where PICs take 4 cycles per insn so they're slower than anything else at actually *running* your IRQ handler, so by the time you've saved your registers the other micros have lower latency. > DIP availability AVRs have always had this.

> analog peripheral selection Maybe? I'll give it to you that PICs have, like, a ridiculously massive variant selection, some with obscure peripherals. If you need a micro to run, like, a fancy switchmode PSU, then maybe suffer through using a PIC, maybe?

> MSP430 land There's at least competition in this space now. There's the SimpleLink series from TI (e.g. CC1312R with 60 µA/MHz) or ST's ultra low power ones with similar power consumption.
-
There's also Maxim's practically unusable DARWIN series which don't even have a programming manual and require you to use their SDK, which also last time I checked, has no documentation.
