 		 #116937 - 8051 developer tool reputations
Hello,

I am a summer intern working for a company that is looking to update its 8051 compiler and emulation tools. I have looked throgh the web at the different sites and came up with a few names. I was wondering if you professionals would help me by telling me the reputation/limitations/ups and downs of any of the products you have experience with. Thank you for your time.
The companies I am looking at are:

Keil-this is the big one i need to know about

Raisonance

Altium/Tasking (would its support of phillips XA only hurt it with other 8051's?)

IAR

HI-TECH
Avocet
