1> Free (almost)
2> No parts (almost)
3> Trivially easy to build
4> Works with all PICs (almost)
5> Works with any PC hardware (almost)
6> Works with most OS's

7: I guess it must also be reliable?

From engineer to manager: you can choose any 6.

My Wisp628 falls short of (4) [(and of course (2)], but do you realy
need to program EPROM PICs?

Perhaps USB is replacing serial on the 2nd thought ...

Sounds like Wisp628 :)
