Currently I use microchip pics but I'm looking possibly to switch, but what?

Why?
What is lacking in the PIC lineup?

Is Atmel worth it? What about TI? I'm looking for something similar to
microchip but more of a commercial aspect. I have never seen any commercial
device that uses a pic and I assume there are reasons for this?

You are completely wrong.
At one point PIC was the highest selling microcontroller in the world.
Do you think those sales came from hobbyists?
PIC are still close to #1 in sales, but it goes back-and-forth a lot.

It seems
that pic's are only for hobbiests so using them in a commercial product is a
no-no?

Absolute rubbish.
That is why PIC has *hundreds* of different devices tailored to every
possible application.
Not many other have such an extensive line to choose from.
