Thanks for all the replies. I may give it another go - I do quite a bit of development in Eclipse=20 (Android, ARM, etc) and Visual Studio so I am pretty used to the=20 powerful features that are present in such tools. MPLAB is beginning to=20 feel more and more dated in this regard, though I kinda like it anyway=20 as it's solid and "no fuss". I guess it's a case of what you are used to, but based on the replies,=20 and since MPLABX is based around Eclipse, plus the fact you can use the=20 same source for both MPLAB/MPLABX, I get the feeling it should be pretty=20 painless to get up to speed. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
