Big Advantage of Using programmer MPLAB recognize is one "klick" programming... It's just easy and fast. You write your code in MPLAB, click BUILD, MPLAB makes HEX (if the source is error free) and then it automatically burns the program into the chip (with verifiing) and runs the program in the real circuit (this feature can be turned off, ofcourse). This speeded up my developing...
WinPicProg can do that as well - once you've loaded the HEX file ONCE, you can set it so it will automatially detect the changed HEX file, reload it, and blow the chip - all with WinPicProg just running in the background.
Compared to the extremely SLOWWWW! PICStart+, this makes development much faster.
