I've been doing embedded work for 20 years, and we've always
chosen embedded OSes based on techinical merit and unit cost. I
don't remember ever worrying about training time (or toolchain
cost, for that matter). I expect a competent embedded devloper
to be able to pick up a new toolchain and/or OS and be
productive without wasting too much time.
