I have seen lots of discussions on the 6502 and the Z80 microprocessors so I thought I would start this poll.
And be sure to comment on why you voted for the ------ processor!
The Z80 had a tremendous advantage because it was CPM compatible.
I have used both processors, but the support environment was so much better.
Plus, the Z80 came out with a 4 Mhz processor which was really useful for disk and video IO.

have observed that there is a lot more online information on the 6502 then the Z80
But with three times the transistors you would think the Z80 would have a advantage. So I guess it's a pretty unfair comparison of processing power on my part.
