C is a totally different approach. All language will do the job.
I also use C is some case. But 95% of what i do use BASIC (structured or not) + asm.
One reason why C is comming more and more popular on some forums is because it's too easy to find some crack/patch to remove the 30 Days Trial limitations. You already know, most serious C compiler pricing are much higher than Basic. You'll never find something really good covering ALL (most) PIC familly under 1,000$
I have nothing against C. It's a really nice and powerfull language. That what i learned at university... when i was young. C for programming is probably the same a Snap-On tool for mechanics... kind of
BTW, everybody knows that whatever you use, the guy/girl back to the keyboard make difference.
You can change your car transmission with a wise grip if you want 
Good luck and don't give up. It really worth to know more programming language.
PS: I would never be a compiler developper... Microchip release too much different PIC model and familly /day/month/years. You have to be a huge team and have all of those PIC to double check what you do. Tedious job.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
