Re: Dissatisfaction With MPLAB
Remember that MPLAB was originally designed as, and is still primarily used as, an assembly IDE. The C18 compiler only works with 17 and 18 series PIC's, which is not the majority of Microchip's sales (the 12C and 16F's are extremely popular due to their low price and abundance of features). The C compiler is simply an add-in, and the IDE itself is free (the C compiler is what costs money if we had to pay for it).
