Which Microcontroller you "Like the Most?" & Which Microcontroller you "Want to work on but don't have it right now?"

So, as clearly mentioned in title, Which is your best microcontroller till date? i.e The Micro Controller you like most and love to start working on it anytime. Let it be as simple as ATMEL AT89S51 or PIC or AVR or ARM based Microcontroller.. and If possible do mention why?
It Doesn't ends here.. image
Also mention which microcontroller/processor you want(desire) to work on but  you haven't got your hands on it yet?
For me :

1> Personally, whenever I have to start or try a new module I start with TI MSP430G2553  If it's unable to provide me with enough horsepower I move to TI lm4f120, because they both are easy to program and have in-built features like adc, pwm etc.. which are enough to drive simple modules.

2> I really wish to work on Freescale IMX6Q6 Processor. I already have figured it out how to get it and soon it will be in my hands. image


What about you?

    i love the TI MSP430G2553 also. I am looking forward to working more with pic's and atmel. But i think my next purchase will be some $4 PSoC 4 boards I never herd of them till a week or so ago, and so…

    more horsepower can be realized by simply going to a tiva C or better but still within the TI stable

    Freescale has 5V chips I'm working with the KEA64 and that is 5V, actually for me its a bit annoying as all the sensors I sues are 3.3V and the board does not easily give 3.3V but Its a nifty little guy…

    I like Cypress PSoC4 because it provides the most power for the lowest cost with the best development tools.

    I would also like to try a PIC32 Pinguino - powerful MCU, free development tools and no programmer needed.
