I have the Microstick II and have been using it quite successfully. However, there is one thing I can't figure out - the little switch on the side. The schematic shows it selects either PGEDA/PGECA or PGEDB/PGECB as the load/debug interface. If I switch to the "D" interface, the programmer can't talk to the chip. I wanted to use the RB0 and Rb1 ports (which are also PGEDA/PGECA pins) for something else.
