I've been thinking of getting into PIC's as well, I've been using AVR's for awhile now, but it seems like a lot of people are moving to PIC(I'm also learning some ARM stuff with the new lauchpad that TI put out, $4.30 for a full dev'ing environment was too good to pass up. I don't really like Arduino, I think its a great developing environment for prototyping stuff, but people use it too often in finalized designs because they get too lazy to switch over to a normal uC, it leads people to thinking that they need to pay $30 for what they can get for $1-2.
