PicBasic Pro v. MBasic...

Started by clayforge April 28, 2005
Well, I have decided to go with PicBasic Pro. It covers every chip I
could want to use, has a great command set, and has been around long
enough to be the most stable of the BASIC compilers (according to
evrything I have read). All in all, after weighing the options, I
feel that this will give me the best value for my money.
I did not go with MBasic, as it appears that it has been a while since
it has been updated.
Proton+ was out of the running as soon as it became so pricey. True,
it is now a full-out developers package, but a lot of what I read on
their forums is that it is not very stable. I do not need any more
headaches that can be avoided!

Thanks to all that gave their opinions and suggestions.

I think you made a very good choice.
