Much like MPLAB X then. But if you have a better PC and more RAM I think it=
 is=20
much better than MPLAB 8. Especially when navigating through the Microchip =
demo=20
code that has a lot of configuration settings based on different hardware d=
emo=20
boards, platforms and CPUs. If there is code that isn't used for the curren=
t=20
configuration, it is grayed out and easy to see. It is also very easy to fi=
nd=20
declarations or function implementations with the Navigate context menu. An=
d of=20
course how easy it is to make different build configurations for a project.

I am using it with an ICD 3 and is quite happy with it. Yes, there are stil=
l=20
some bugs but I find it quite useful now and think that I am reasonably=20
productive with it (at least the IDE isn't responsible for slowing me down)=

The thing I miss most is probably a "Step Out" debug function.
