Many have said good things about AVR...including a few people
whose opinions I value, now including you. I plan to check it out
someday. For now, my "tiny" projects use PIC, my "small/medium"
projects use various 8051 implementations, and my "big" projects use
ARM. I will add AVR to that list when I have some time to check it out.

Far nicer than other Intel designs.
This
is easy, due to the awkward braindamage of typical intel designs.
Did we already talk about iAPX432? ;-)
Even when coding assembler, an AVR is much nicer to code for then an
i8051. I did only a single project in i8051 assembler. It was
disgusting. Then I saw the light of AVR assembler and never looked
back. That was about 10 years ago. Now we have avr-gcc and so I don't
care much about the actual uC architecture. Today the availability
of a
good, free C compiler toolchain + cheap and simple ISP programmer is
more important to me.
avr-gcc + avr-gdb + avr-libc + avrdude = fun. Lots of it. :-)
