#149998 - biggest problem vs. nightmare
Responding to: ???'s previous message
David Prentice said:
Because the 8051 has SO many derivatives, I can see that it will be a nightmare to maintain the device tables and ensure that "features" are overcome.

The biggest problem is portability. As far as I know the more sophisticated Wizards are bound to specific compilers. Naming conventions, memory addressing and interrupt syntax vary widely.

I disagree that portability is the biggest problem. I think the so-many-derivatives nightmare is much worse.
