Harvard Arch. machines separate data and program memory - the 8051 is a pain to work with from that
standpoint.  It also has a very limited stack which is not real good in multi-input systems.  Speed-wise,
the 68HCxx series runs rings around it.  There is also a bit of bias here: I've never been impressed
(positively, at least) by Intel's power consumption/disapation nor by their electrical ruggedness, at least
when compared to Motorola or NSC with their extensive MIL lines.
