No. For uC Bluetooth, I only used Nordic chips. For general-purpose uC I have lots of experience with TI MSP430 and NXP/Freescale Kinetis K and KL lines. Nordic has by far the best SDK and support of those.
Having seen the complexity of BLE and Mesh, I would be very wary of using a vendor if I didn't see excellent software support. For example I wouldn't even consider Kinetis for wireless solutions, having seen how bad their SDKs were.
Hardware is relatively easy to get right, software is hard.
