Free. (OK, "low cost" if including the dial-up download time... :-) )
Few problems.
OK docs.
Comes from a pretty "stable" source.
As good support as you could expect for new devices.
Will probably be available as long as the PIC:s will be.
Gives a "professional" look when trying to sell hardware to
educational institutions, no "hacking" to get the tools running.

With that said, I *also* like my UltraEdit setup using Olin's
development environment (slightly re-written using a make
tool), but that doesn't mean that I *hate* MPLAB...
