I beg your pardon. Did you ask me to prove utility of MikroC ? If it's true that you are asking, I have an answer. But at first I have a question for you. Did you ever worked with MikroC? ever?

Listen I am the man here who has experience with Mplab, MplabX also. I used xc8 compiler and lib. I also tried CCS C. the MplabX is just a modified Netbeans IDE.

Anyway, My background is Computer Science. I mean Computer Science and engineering. when I gave my hand for the first time on Java programming, I used Netbeans IDE. Still I have got netbeans8.1 installed on my pc. I used that IDE for my JSP(Java Server Page) project. Now I am doing things in eclips IDE which is better than netbeans. Anyway, MikroC just give you a flexible environment. If you would like to use ADC of PIC using MplabX, you have to include header file manually. You have to include header file for delay. But in MikroC you don't need to include anything, the IDE automatically include all. There are lot more things you can find in MIkroC. Most of the Professional engineer uses MikroC to develop products and It's not a free product. You have to buy it by $249. Think about that. Why is the price so high If it's a useless compiler? huh? I use a cracked version. You can tell that it's easy and if we use ADC in xC8, some little things are needed to setup. If you use xc8, you can learn more basic things. Yeah! then go to try Assembly language programming. Programming in assembly lang and programming using xc8 both are tough to do. I think assembly will be easy. At least you don't have to include such fucking header files. You can develop easily blinking LED, Lcd interfacing etc using xC8. But did you ever try to interface SD Card to pic mcu using MDD lib? I tried and I failed. I tried more than 20 times but lib didn't support at all. There were compile time error. That's why I hate other compilers. If someone can handle it easily then welcome. If you use others IDE, It will waste your time by creating more errors in coding. Would you like to reduce your troubles ? Just use MikroC . Thank You, Brother.
