I have several Junebugs, an original PICkit2, several ICD2 clones, and a JDM programmer. The Junebug is my favorite.
We have looked into it, here at ETO, at least twice and so far there is no reason to buy a PICkit3 instead of the PICkit2. The PICkit2 is about 1/2 the price too.
I use Bill's when I teach PIC programming and it works very well. In some ways it is more versatile then then original PICkit2 it is based on. Currently my students have a TalkBotBrain from Roman Black and and a PIR sensor connected to Junebugs. It is a blast.
