Some time after MIPS shot itself in the head by killing MIPS Open, it's nice to have a reasonably well designed and well-supported open architecture and instruction set. edit: apparently there are open versions of SPARC and POWER, so... maybe there's not a lot of value in RISC-V except that it's simpler than the other two, drops irritating legacy features (register windows, condition codes...) and is in general designed for modern implementation?
