IDE

Hi there,
I am sort of interested in what IDEs people are using: I've been following the Microchip tools from when they were DOS based, but MPlabX or whatever it is called just does not seem worth using - user hostile sort of springs to mind. I'm sure there are lots of great features in it, but they are so buried that the time to discover them would outweigh the benefits. I use mainly 18F series, writing in assembler. What worries me in the future is new devices not being supported under MPlab 8; I want to consider a contingency plan...
So who uses what IDE, and why?
