To repeat an earlier question - would I find an earlier version of MPLAB
easier to get started, or would I seriously disadvantage myself by denying

It seems a lot of people prefer to use a stand alone text editor, I'd
welcome any advice as to which choice to make.


While you're in the learning process, use MPLAB exclusively. And, for
that matter, the latest version.

If you screw around with oddball tools and toolchains, you're going to
spin yourself in circles, shooting at multiple moving targets, and
you'll never get anything done.

Anything else at this stage of your learning is just absolutely crazy.
