yes i have also fallen in to the trap of using the pic chip that i know or limiting it selection to what PBP supports and also knowing it faster to do it in PBP than to start it in C where i am not as good at it

but the limits of PBP are always nagging me to move on to C permanently and the ability to port to large chips is major factor to drop PBP

8bit chips are so full of features but limited to 128k is major pain at times
richard reminds me is PBP is not great at many things and asm use is key routines are its major benefit

congrats on moving forward on c and MPLAP X
