One more good thing about MicroC/MicroBasic/MicroPascal, they
are all running under Linux with Wine. The IDE seems to be
quite well written. However I have not really tried it since
we have PICC (old version only) for PIC16 and MPLAB C18 
(full version from Microchip).

I have not looked deeply into lots of C compilers for PICs, but I have 
tried a few.  What stands out to me about MicroC is their standard library:

tm

Seems pretty impressive to me, at least from the perspective of getting 
a quick project going - I don't know how deep each functional area is, 
but I've tried a couple (PS/2, sound) and they were just what I needed 
to get a neat gizmo up and running.

Also, their demo limitation is simple and clear: 2K code limit.  Aside 
from that, it supports their full range of chips (which also seems 
extensive, though it doesn't include dsPICs yet - they do support it in 
separate Pascal and BASIC compilers).

AND their IDE is nice.
