I think it's quite debatable whether the serial port or parallel port is "harder" to use. If your microcontroller comes with a hardware UART, then serial is definitely easier. Even if it doesn't, there are bound to be software UART source codes for virtually all uCs on the net.
As for parallel ports, the wiring is a hassle. Not only that, you have to ensure you don't burn out your port (Yes, most parallel ports are now integrated to the MOBO :twisted: ). With the modified inpout32.dll file, interfacing on the PC side is as simple as that of the serial interface.
Performance wise, the parallel port is faster than the serial port. The serial port can easily go to 115kbps, pretty decent and more than sufficient for many applications.
