Re: What is Easy C good for?
I was in the camp of EasyC is a waste, and I'm still partially there because I have no exeprience using EasyC Pro. My main complaint with EasyC was that you couldn't write your own program in it, and since it didn't have support for many non-Vex sensors (I've only used it for Vex) it wasn't useful for working with them.
Now that EasyC Pro has come out and given me most of the things that I wanted to do in the original EasyC but couldn't, I probably wouldn't mind using it. This year's choice was a no brainer as I know MPLAB well and hadn't even seen the features EasyC Pro had, so I didn't bother looking at it.
I believe there's some value in doing coding by hand, but when speed is a necessity EasyC Pro certainly seems a good option.
