I noticed some people using the MPLAB-ICD for programming.

How good is it?

If it works acceptably I would like to get it as an alternative to $1000+
in-circuit-emulators.  I know the ICD is limited to 16F87x devices, but
those are exactly the chips I need to use.   Are there any big gotchas?  I
know it eliminates the use of a few pins while using the ICD, and I'm fine
with that. It appears with the screen shots that only one break point is
allowed, that's fairly constricting but still workable.  Anything else?  If
that's it I'm prepared to order one.

Thanks

Jeff
