I don't think AVR (based on the ancient 8051 which is closer to its
40th birthday than its 30th) is a very good place to start.

The fact that the 8051 core has been around since 1980 simply proves how damn
good it is.

Can you say the same about Micrsoft Windows ? :-))

Windows hasn't been around that long. A better comparison would be DOS.
