I do not like Emacs at all. From the very beginning I never
installed EMACS and TETEX. Vi is acceptable. :( 
I do know I need to learn Make in order to work in Linux.

For Linux newbie like me, GUIs like GNOME/KDE are easier to use.
As for Wine/DOSEMU, how to run MPLAB/MCC18 working under Wine?

Of course I will try gputils and gpsim first. Now at least I have
Pickit 1 working in Linux. :)

Aren't there some relatively powerful assemblers that run under linux?
I seem to recall that I had no troubles compiling AVR and PIC assemblers
for my Mac...
And there's emacs, of course :-)  (The "design environment" philosophy
under linux is different than for windows.  IDEs are likely to be less
popular, because people already have their favorite editors, and 
command-line tools are more popular for compile/etc.)  For that 
matter, some of the DOS microcontroller tools should work fine 
under DOSEMU....
