I've been using a PICkit3 for several years with no issue. I've also made
use of the "code to go" feature to send out updates for the rare occasion
where a bootload did not work. I have a couple Real ICE units that refuse
to work. One thing on PICkit 3 that caused me frustration for a while is
for debug (this is on MPLAB 8), there is not a warning that you have to
authorize write to protected boot memory. Instead, it just does not work.
I finally noticed that I had to enable writing to boot memory separately.
The full chip programming option would not work.
