I mean sure...it's an old architecture but there's a reason why that architecture is still being used in lots of devices and why manufacturers are still making MCS-51 derivatives (such as the Atmel AT89S series). I personally think it's a workhorse uC with lots of good stuff in it.
I guess what I'm asking is why is it that people tend to talk down a uC based on nothing more than how old its architecture is? IMHO just because something has been around awhile doesn't make it any more or less "good".
