- Power consumption - really really small, specialy in deep-sleep modes
- 16bit core.. that's it.. 16×16bit hardware multiplier as peripheral
- nice architecture with 16 16bit registers (12 general purporse registers), orthogonal instruction set
- Vcc and GND pins on the top of PDIP.. easier routing of power wires on the PCBs
- simple DMA controller!
- proprietary 2 wire programming
- bunch of standard peripheral, USARTs, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC, DAC... depends on chip type

TI's MPS430 LaunchPad
I was forced by curiosity to try these microcontrollers. Since I'm using mainly AVRs in my projects, I was searching for points where this microcontroller can be better. I just read the datasheet and here are the interesting bits:

I think DMA & HW Multiplier are not supported on lauchpad
