Yes. However Arduino just needs a USB cable rather an a JTAG or
equivalent programmer, and you can program it in C rather an PIC
machine code or whatever.
It is much cheaper to use the standalone chips, but when an Arduino
Nano is $5 I can't be bothered.

I was using a PDP for a real-time control task two years ago. It still
did the same job as when it was installed in 1982. (running an engine
dyno)
