It really proved the advantage of a graphic IDE. We could have gotten things debugged much sooner if it wasn't so slow on the down load. Over all I say that Easy-C really did make the programming part of the season easy. Much better than watching the students battle MPLAB all season last year. Thanks intelliteck and First for putting A visual IDE in the kit this year.
If you have a laptop with a serial port on it, the downloads go about 3X faster than through the USB adapter. I have an older laptop that I'm keeping around for exactly that reason.
