I have to ask why?
What will this new one do that the old one can not... Make you a better programmer?

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Looks like it does some pretty cool things. I like the version history function. And since MplabX is open source, companies providing 3rd party compilers could theoretically distribute their software to be an add on, and work directly within MPLAB X's shell. Not to mention the Mac and Linux versions.

It does look interesting. Too bad it is java net beaned, but hey, it is free...

Probably not bad, but it doesn't turn me on. Seems they want to do something like the Eclipse platform... which is a really bloat IDE, BUT cross-platform.

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

What about Eclipse do you consider bloated?

Not sure how better it is actually, but in the past they had load of problem with the so-called GDI (++) alike implementation, so the screen refresh was not slow.... bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt tttttttttttttt rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll lllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow. The interface by itself, it take ages to load, their AutoHide&Pin implementation is a pain to work with.
Everything you want to add into is a plug-in... once again this increase the load time again and again. Sure it is a really powerfull IDE, but it is bloat coded and have serious memory leak on various plug-in.
Probably because it is an open source, so everyone can access/modify it, with good or bad programming skills.
I understand why Microchip haven't use it...

If, as you say, Eclipse is so bad what alternatives do you suggest?
Also, isn't NetBeans (which is what MPLAB-X is based on) also open source and one of the reasons why Microchip is moving away from their proprietary platform?
