I use PICC, Ultraedit, and if I have a big project, "make". The only 
time I use MPLAB is when I want to simulate some code.

I guess since I write code in C, I am freed from having to use MPLAB, 
since generally my code works. When it doesn't, debugging is easy 
enough through the serial port in real time.

I don't use an ICD or emulator because all the things I do are real-
time, and I can't just break and continue.

MPLAB has a terrible editor, and the whole program is awkward and 
dysfunctional(things we expect Windows programs to do, it doesn't).

But I am asking, what do people LIKE about MPLAB? Because I have not 
found anything to LIKE. Things to TOLERATE, yes. But not if there are 
better alternatives.

Best regards,

Bob
