Development enviroments orther than MPLAB

[wun]

It took me all of five minutes to decide that there is no way I would use the MPLAB IDE to program the robot this year. Every part of it made me angry (especialy the ultra-long load times on my crappy old notebook), so I started using gVim + cygwin + make.
What are other people using to program it?

wine+mcc18+makefile+ifi_picloader

works way better than MPLAB since I can use vim or kate or whatever else I want, and the cli bootloader feels less clumsy than ifi's loader.

i would do something else, but im too lazy

*cheers* Yup! Nothing like it.
(you know youve been coding with vim too long when you start hitting j and k when your on the web... Thank heaven FireFox knows to start searching when you hit /)

no, you know you've been using vim to long when you start typing :w for no reason at all into your word documents at school....

Actually, I find vim scary.

My team used MPLAB + Windows since I was the only one with Linux on their machine. Plus, I didn't find out until later that others got the IFI_Loader to work with WINE with no major problems.

[mikew]

afaik, the ifi loader still doesn't work through wine. A new one was coded from scratch to do the job.

[Ryan M.]

Same thing.

I used the MPLAB IDE with windows cuz I was way to lazy to use anything else, I mean most of my code is just the default; My team was kinda picky about having it working b4 we shipped;

[Astronouth7303]

The bot barely worked when we shipped. And the code was screwed up so badly that the controller gave us a red-green. (RGOD!) Or an infinate loop.
