1. We work on 8051 and HC11, there is _no_ reason to switch to other 
processors (especially the programming language is no reason).

2. For professional development, it's not enough to have a compiler. You 
need a complete tool-chain (e.g. configurator, debugger ...)

No, thats wrong. Would you go to GM and tell them: "Please build me a car 
whith five wheels,60 inch wheels, ..."? NO, you go to your local dealer, see 
what he has and then buy it or leave it.
