I would like to point out that you can buy the SiM3C167, an 80 MHz ARM with two 1 MHz 10-bit ADCs, two DACs, onboard decently-accurate oscillator, tons of timers, UARTs, USARTs, I2C, SPI, up to 65 I/O, 256 kB flash, and 32 kB RAM, all in a DIY-friendly TQFP-80 for eight bucks, quantity one from Mouser, right now.
If you need less flash and less RAM, the SiMC136 is $4.25.
Eval kits are cheap. C compiler is free. Debug dongle is $35.
I can't see why I'd use an 8051 ever again.
