I myself have done very little hobby microcontroller work. My nixie clock is all discrete, but I got a bunch of sample PICs before I left school. I pulled them out the other day and started wiring an xxF87 for a 14 segment display and thermometer. Haven't gotten to the code yet.
At work, we use primarily MSP430s, which are easy and I should have gone with for this project. Some older projects are on a PIC. A previous job used AVR for some small things like power-up control. Those had previously been PIC but there was an issue of the PIC loosing it's programming randomly (not sure any details). It will be interesting to see how things shake out.
