You don't have to use the command line tool. I leave the GUI version running in the background and either select the .HEX file manually or rely on the automatic detect and compile function.

The GUI version supports the PIC you want to use.

Given the utility of the PicKit2 (logic analyzer, UART tool and debugger) and the price, it's not a purchase you are likely to regret.

If you google around you will find tools to add devices to both versions and example device files again for both versions.
