Re: Why would anyone choose EZ-USB?

The only advantage I can see that EZ-USB has is the fact that it is
based on an 8051 core, so there is a free software C compiler
available. While the PIC18F2450 is not yet supported by any free
software C compiler, although a nice assembler + linker suite is
available.

The student edition of the Microchip C18 compiler is free, only
limitation is the code takes more space:
