Microchip in particular is very bad at developer experience and tooling. The only vendor I actually enjoy working with to any degree is ST, and only design boards using their uC's for that reason.
I've heard good things about Nordic, though. Might try them out at some point.
Microchip's own IDE and project generator spit out a hello world project that didn't even compile. NXP wouldn't even let me download their tooling even after their obfuscated sign up flow.
