So far I am extremely happy with my trial version. This tool is really nice and making my work day more enjoyable.

I haven't ask my supervisor to purchase it yet, but I would like other people's input on this before buying.

what are you editing with it? there are so many good, free editors this day that I find it hard to justify spending money on one...

I am editing a C/C++ project. I also noticed it supports many other languages as well, and they have plug-in to elcipse for Java for example. Eclipse is free and great for Java, real shitty for C/C++.

I haven't used Eclipse for C/C++ myself, but I've used it for MANY other things, including Java, JSP, XML, HTML, CSS, PHP, PERL, JavaScript, Velocity, shell scripts, SQL files, and a dozen other languages. There's an eclipse plugin/flavor for just about anything you'd want and as it's a strong platform, it may be worth looking into. When is the last time you used it for C/C++? Have you tried the latest (and supposedly much improved) version?

I am using it right now for school projects, and I am not really happy with it... well for what I do for my class it's fine. However I wouldn't use it for work project, not for over 30000 lines project.

Why aren't you using the CCS ide for editing ?
It has all the special instruction support.

Did not know they have an IDE? but either way I must use MPlab thing to program the boards, and for debugging too.
