Ah, I had the good fortune to at least run through Atmels with C compilers first ;-)

I definitely never expect to use a PIC or Atmel chip though, wow those were terrible. I guess small quantities really hurt.

PICs and assembly are honestly pretty great, if you know how to use them like that. I've never actually used C on a PIC because they are so resource constrained, but they certainly do have their uses.
