I like Mikroe MikroBASIC's demo, only limited in code size.

There is a (think it is) greatcows BASIC as well which is freeware.

Do not plan on MPLABS with a few of them. Unless you load the ASM and LST files to debug.

BoostBASIC way back hooked into MPLABS, not sure if they ever finished the project, I sort of grew tired waiting on them. If you go with the 18F chips, Swordfish is another good one to look at.

At £99, Proton Development Suite is almost free, as it offers lifetime free updates (like I wish a well known 3D Cad package did, that I have to part with £1000 a year for updates ) And the forum is very helpful
But its each to their own I guess
