That is the difference with companies like ARM, who actually has developers who contribute to GCC and pays third parties like CodeSourcery to maintain the GNU toolchain for ARM... Same as Intel with Wasabi for their XScales... etc. BTW, I know that Atmel is working big time in reducing the power consumption of their new AVRs and AT91s, and it seems they will finally roll out their ZigBee solutions. I think that TI should revise their developer and customer support model if they want to protect their investment in the MSP430 line and avoid loosing customers in the near future... My 2 cents.
