 		 #157301 - Choose your battles carefully

There is so much '51 stuff hanging around (OS, banking, RAM code, 82xx chips, ...) from the days when the '51 was the only economically viable solution for many applications it was never intended for. Now that an ARM does not cost a leg there is no excuse for wrestling the poor little bugger into doing things is is singularily unsuited for.
(my emphasis)

Absolutely - there are plenty of real challenges in any development project without needlessly throwing extra obstacles in your own way by choosing an inappropriate processor!

Save your energy for the real battles!
