As a user of the CCS compiler, I will readily admit that the problems you
describe are indeed annoying.  On the other hand, compared with my MPLABC
experience I'd say CCS is pretty good (if you call tech support because
the compiler mis-evaluates an expression, would you rather get a response
of "Yeah, it has that problem.  We may fix that in a month or two," or
"Oops, that doesn't seem to work right.  I'll try to get it fixed by
tomorrow."
