Don't get me wrong, I like Microchip, and I like the way that they =
provide their development software for free.  But there are just a few =
things about MPLAB that really get to me.  I can ignore the small bugs, =
lackluster interface, and the fact Microsoft is developing 64 bit =
windows and MPLAB is still 16 bit. Such things are immaterial.  =
(Hopefully v. 6.0 will be a big improvement.)  What I can't ignore is =
the poor performance of the simulator.  It seems to be intentionally =
lethargic!  Why must programs like SPEED.EXE be used as an accelerant?  =
Is MPLAB sandbagged?  It consumes about 1% of the CPU's resources and =
idles the rest.  I though that Microchip might not expend much effort on =
MPLAB in the hopes that 3rd party developers would pick up the slack, =
but where are they?

What do you think about this?
