PSOC it to me!

>I have been watching the PSOC for some time now and I have never had an
>application where it was remotely applicable.  But now I think I may
>have a use for it.  I am having trouble finding a good low power MCU
>that has the peripherals that I need.  The PSOC, with its configurable
>hardware, can morph into whatever I need.
>
>In the past when I have looked at the tools, I was not impressed.  In
>the early days the configurations process was to tell the factory what
>you wanted and they would make it work.  A few years later when I
>checked back with them again, they said they had tools to let you do
>your own design.  The training consisted of teleconferences with the
>factory, but you were likely the only person in the session.  I guess
>that was good, but it is still not even as easy as using a CPLD or the
>like.
>
>Now they have a lot of new chips out and the last time a salesman
>talked to me about them I was assured that the software was ready for
>prime time.  So I am going to give them a hard look.  Anyone have
>experiences they can relate?
