I am working on a project using FreeRTOS. I was exploring FreeRTOS + uip vs. 
RTX + TCP/IP (Keil). I got very nervous about the selection of the Ethernet 
controller, device drive and TCP/IP stack and was basically sold on going 
the commercial route for that reason. However, our requirement for Ethenet 
went away and we went with FreeRTOS. The key here is with what tools? We are 
using Eclipse + GNUARM + Cygwin succesfully but it was a bit of pain 
initially, but we are are comfortable with them now. If you can afford 
commercially supported tools for all of your developers don't hesitate to go 
that path. If you can't then that is a different issue. Cost was a huge 
issue for us.
