That is a typical Linux user with PIC.

gputils provides the assmebler and linker.
pikdev /piklab are good IDEs which integrates gputils (assembler
and linker).

gpsim is the simulator.

SDCC is the C compiler.

pikdev /piklab supports many PICs using simple programmers
(JDM/Tait/...). picp supports PS+. xwisp2 supports Wisp628.
pk2/pyk/piklab support PICkit 2.

http://www.gnupic.org has many good resources even though there
are some new stuffs missing.

C18 works nicely under Wine. In fact all the language suites under
MPLAB (MPASM/MPASM30/C18/C30) work nicely under Wine.

I think gpsim is a good software emulator.

piklab aims to support ICD2 debugging on PIC16F device.
