I would say its nice for people who are just moving to Linux and dont want to give up something that they have gotten used to.

Oooooh, what a tedious member registration procedure! I didn't know answer to 2 questions and could not read one captcha image letters. Registered after 4th attempt. Uf!

Anyway, I'm here and I would like to know what are these Linux native tools better than MPLAB. I'm using MPLAB extensively and have Window$ installed only because of it. Help!

Have you looked at Eclipse?

Umm.. Thats cool and all, but why would you go out of your way to install something that may not work very well on an unsupported OS? I find no reasons to switch to this from the mcc18/wine/configure.py combo. If MPLAB ever made a linux native MPLAB, or winehq supported it, I would use it.
Cool nonetheless! This can only be good for linux and all of its users!
