All compiler support everything... the software programmer (AKA end user) don't
Ah hah, but not all compilers are equal. PBP was designed with 100% redundancy, and every single command resets the bank registers and program pages. You find this with very few compilers, and it enourmously bloats the code. PBP is an excellent tool for making working code in short time, but it produces very large code that does not run very fast. Compare the output to almost any other compiler... I would be surprised if you find even one compiler that is less efficient with code space or execution time.
