More to the point... What are the DISadvantages of AVR compared to other
architectures?


The only real ones are that AVRs are a single makers product and that
there is less free stuff out there for it.

On the contrary, most of the free 8051 stuff is very old

You mean tried and true, well proven don't you. Just because something
has been around for a while doesn't lower its value.

and of limited
value,

A free macro assembler is very far from "of limited value".


whereas for AVR there is a free, actively developed C compiler
(AVR-GCC)

"actively developed" is a very strange turn of phrase. Do you mean that
they are still working on it (ie: trying to remove the bugs)
