When you factor in all the clones and how long its been released, I believe there are more PICkit 2's in the world than there are Arduino's. Unfortunately I don't have the numbers to back it up. But who really cares, the fact there are so many of both of these hobbyist tools being used everyday is awesome.
It's been amazing to watch the growth of home electronics hobbyists/makers/inventors/etc. over the last 30+ years. I learned about microcontrollers back in high school; programming my first one on a healthkit trainer. I was writing machine language (1's and 0's) back then entering hex code not assembly code. Assembly code was a higher level language.
