Remember the PIC18C parts that were available in ceramic (erasable) or plastic (OTP) packages? I wonder if a UV erasable part is available. Unless the part uses fuse blowing for programming, it seems that everything now would use reprogrammable flash. But, I don't design the chips! I really like the current on chip debugging capabilities (I use REAL-ICE). I started with a Microchip emulator where it was maybe $1,000 for the box and anther $800 for each processor to be supported.
