Do you mean MikroC?
I have the EasyPIC4 board and love it, however I do not use their IDE nor compiler currently. I used it for a while and they do have a lot of nice prebuilt libraries which handle things like what you mentioned and seem to handle them well. A lot of their sample code uses their library functions so doesn't really show you much how to do things unless you feel like digging around looking in their libraries.
I stopped using their compiler and went back to MPLAB with hi-tech picc as I was used to not using masks to address bits on ports.
