Previously I have always written in pure assembly, but I decided I try and make things a little faster for myself and use a compiler.
I've done quite a bit of reading around on the GCB site, but find myself getting a little confused now.
I originally downloaded the version referenced on the Getting Started page when it's talking about MPLAB, and I chose MPLAB as the compiler set. I then thought I might try GCBIDE as well, so as mentioned at the bottom of the page I downloaded the update.zip, and extracted the contents into the GCBASIC directory. I've installed GCBIDE it loads fine, but doesn't seem to be reading the chipdata properly because it's unaware of the 12F range in the chip wizard. Any thoughts?
While looking through the forum I understand that the the updated version of GCBASIC for use with GCBIDE, doesn't use the MPLAB Compilers, but instead one that I've forgotten then name of built into GCBASIC, but there is some suggestion that it is maybe not perfect, am I therefore better off removing all I have, go back to the standard version tied to MPLAB and user Crimson for the editing?

Using a particular editor or IDE comes down to personal preference. In my case, if something works, then a compelling reason has to come along to make me change.
Using MPASM and Crimson Editor, no compile errors with 12f509, 12f675, and 12f683. Sometimes a less used chipdata file needs editing, so post back if problems persist.
