Me too, I like MPLAB! Has a simulator that works somewhat, not all features seem to work, depending on Pic Device. . Directly runs my ICD2 and ICE2000 Emulators. Directy runs my PicStart+ and PicMaster Programmers. The PicStart+ has always been my favorite programmer for development. Does everything right inside MPLAB. They have done a good job of keeping up the device list. I have been using MPLAB since the '80s and it has gotten a lot better each year. Other software I have tried is always full of bugs. Microchips support used to be real good, just a phone call away. Lately they have gone to an email system that has not been as good from my experience. I will have to throw away a Parallax programmer and Emulator because of no support. I have about $1000 worth of their junk. I would like to know what is so bad about MPLAB?
