Picstart Plus works well for me, as a development programmer.  Well
supported, reliable (except the early power supplies!), and works under
linux.  You don't get the sheer satisfaction of building it yourself(!),
but it gives you more time to build your own designs instead of fighting
with the inadequacies of someone else's...
