Adding new parts to MPLAB

[ale500]

I'm intrigued; what is it about MPLAB X you don't like? To me it just felt slower, but on a good PC everything is pretty instant.

Instant is the coffee  , instantaneous is what it feels like . But it doesn't. It feels a bit sluggish... but debugging with the Pickit 3... that is slow . I recently got a J-Link, at least debugging is now instantaneous.

I like Netbeans, I used to program Java in it so MPLAB X feels quite right. But i got, in the meantime, accustomed to eclipse (it became also better...) and finding equivalents seems sometimes difficult. It has to grow on you. It needs time and a project you have to do.
