There are dozens of books, hundreds of instructors who recommend them. They work out of the box with default configs, no A/Ds, No Comparators, perfect choice for that first PIC. Remember George, newbies often know absolutely nothing about PICs, and these chips offer the easiest way to get started without getting tripped. Move up to 16F628A / 648A, adds comparators and memory and timers, same footprint, 1 brick at a time, is how a wall gets built. But yeah, for the experienced programmer, to much money too little chip.
