granted its easy to use and relatively powerful -- mplab definately fails in the finess department -- the way it formats text (auto-indentation) is awful at best... and the syntax colors are buggy as all hell (how can bugs that big that everybody notices remain unfixed) -- not to mention the layout has caused the loss of hair folicles many times -- like -- sometimes just where the hell does the output window go? -- and do i really need the file browser to take up the whole window sometimes -- its a useful program -- but it falls short in the particulars -- thats why i use eclipse == when i start a function -- i actuall get an indent when i hit enter

i'd love to use MP lab == its easier to teach others (barely technologicly able but want to program the robot) == but will they ever fix the little things?
