The PIC microcontrollers are frankly *dreadful*, without a single redeeming feature.  What makes me like them even less is that you're forced to use the bloody awful Windows software to program them,

I've used "gpasm" for assembly, and "picprog" for serial port programming, both under Linux, with excellent results.

I generally select the PIC I use in my projects based on the functions I require, and how well it is supported under the assembler and programmer indicated above.

This approach has worked extremely well for my purposes.
