Just putting the idea out there.
I'm putting a new board together but in the process I got to thinking what if I put a PICkit 2 compatible ICD and 18F47J13 on an Arduino UNO type layout (so you can use their shields)
A basic PICkit 2 is very easy to build and a terrific little programmer that has a UART & logic probe mode.
The 18F47J13 is a very powerful 3.3V PIC with several re-mappable I/O pins and many are 5V input tolerant. It can easily replicate the I/O and peripherals found on the ATmega328. It's dual UARTs would come in handy for some projects.
Another option is no programmer, just a FT232RL (like the older Arduinos) and a 6 pin header for a PICkit 2 / 3. This would require a form of bootloader or make the ICD necessary.
Comments & suggestions welcome.
