How relevant is it compared to, say, the 8-bit Atmel stuff, when it comes to new designs?

  It's not relevant at all today. Use a 32-bit micro unless you've got a really good reason to do otherwise. And cost isn't one of those reasons anymore.

    As a standalone microcontroller, I'd agree. But as an IP core integrated to some design it is still quite relevant.

    Or if you have low power requirements. The TI MSP430 really shines here.

      The MSP430 really isn't that much lower power (if at all) than the Cortex M4 series nowadays.
