Josh, it depends on what you want to do.
If you do small projects, then time is king and perhaps you =

don't want to deal with specific PIC issues like the ICSP =

programming.

My prejuice on picaxe and similar devices (those with a =

bootloader already inside occupying some program memory) is =

that they are more oriented for hobbysts or for very =

specific application niches.

If you have to deliver a product that has time constraits or =

code size constraints or that will use its usart for other =

purposes, then you will have to do all by yourself.

So it is your choice.  Picaxes are good but it depends on =

what you want to do with them, they offer you some already =

tested implementations.
