PS+ does not support the 18F USB parts like 18F2550 and
18F4550 as yet. It also does not support some new 18Fs like 
18F6525. It does not support dsPICs as well. In this
aspect, ICD2 is better. However ICD2 is a pain to use
for some ICSP applications and chips like 16F629/675
which requires Vpp before Vdd. Anyway I think PS+
will support more chips later. 

So maybe Olin's ProProg is a good choice for you even though
I have no experience with it.

Subject: Re: [PIC]: stupid mistakes

Thanks for taking the trouble to list those programmers. One
good thing about the PS+ is that it always works. Never had
a PIC it couldn't do. I feel for those who've built something
cheap off the web and had troubles (had that myself with the
Fluffy2, not fun)
