I've never bought a board from them but I like microC
A few people have been saying they like this compiler. I would like to know why ?

There product is AWESOME trust me i read a lot about them to love there stuff. But 2 things stop me....
1... They BABY the hell out of a programmer. You dont have to do nothing almost to make anything. I find it to easy and have no feel of accomplishing something.
2... There prices are CRAZY!!! heh
Would that be useful?
being able to change some code, click compile, click program, then watch the pic run all in one window and do it in a few seconds is extremely useful!!

Thanks RomanIt can also seamlessly integrate through PICKit2 and other microchip tools
and Burt,The MikroC Ide is better then mplab
I would like to mention that it is best to stay away from the compiler specific stuff that makes porting code between compilers difficult. When you can do it the c way.
The CCS Compiler includes many built in packages; for timing, for RS232 communications, for I2C interfaces and many more. I avoided using them for two reasons. I wanted to develop code which was somewhat transportable with a minimum of difficulty to other compilers which did not include these built in functions. The other reason is that the source code for these built in functions is not provided and I am one who likes to understand what I am doing. I see many postings, "I am using the I2C feature on the PIC16F877 and it doesn't work". And, indeed, the poster doesn't have a ghost of a chance getting it to work as they don't have the source code.
Convenient is probably more appropriate.Would that be useful?
Just personal preference I guess...

Forgot to mention that I use Sourceboost BoostC for C on 12F' and 16F' devices. The 'free' version limitations are very generous. So much so that all of the memory on 12F675 and 12F683 devices can be used without limitation.
