The PIC is useful, but you can learn to use them in an afternoon. After that, where is the fun? The only challenge is finding a project to work on. You'll never run out of challenge trying to write for the 2600. :P
But when I say programmable logic, I don't mean MCU or MPU. I mean PLDs and the like. With a 20MHz PIC, you only get an instruction every 200ns. That's fast enough for something like this, but it's pushing it. PLDs can be had with ahhh..."response times" of < 5ns. (I'm grouping everything into a generic "response" that basically has no real meaning.) And they're cheap. Sorta.
