#146061 - My ha'pence worth
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The fact that users are prepared to pay for Keil is a testament to the added value that they provide. Keils areas of strength include code quality and support, as well as integration. SDCC is just a compiler, so you will have to link it to a code editor an debugger.

Having said that, I've used SDCC commercially and not regretted it. It let me ship source code to a customer without them having to sign up to Keil for a license when they just need to do a bit of maintainance. I'm also not a big fan of the Keil IDE, but you can always use your favourite front end and compile from the command line.

If you start out with an 8051 development board, you may find you get Keil thrown in anyway.
