Why was my thread "AVR vs. PIC" removed? I have created the thread in
Offtopic! I thought that we could write about anything in the offtopic
forum including the topic AVR vs. PIC!

You can write about almost anything. One of the things you can't write
is a post with the only intention of starting a senseless flamewar.

I am very disappointed :). The flamewar threads are the most
interesting/funniest threads... And I created the topic deliberately in
"Offtopic" not in "Microcontrollers" :(

Maybe the admin should write what is allowed in the Offtopic and what
isn't.

Lets just discuss here what is better.

I think AVR is better, PIC is lame. AVR got a free GCC compiler, PIC got
memory banks and weird assembler code. AVR instruction set is mostly
single cycle (MHz = MIPS), PIC got multiple cycles per instructions (i
think at least 4 cycles).

Thats it,

it does only matter, that you are using the most suitable tool to reach
our solution! Thats my opinion :)
