Which ones allow debugging and seamless integration with Mplab IDE ?
I started with an off-circuit programmer and switched later to an
in-circuit one. With this one I had to remove the in-circuit programming
connector after downloading my program because its power line interfered
with my prototype. It was a real nuisance.
Now I program, download and execute without having to touch at anything
in my prototype board.

Perhaps I am missing something .... ;-)
