Do not get too excited about not having pickit2 support. This is still in beta and it is open source. I expect if microchip does not add it some one else will.
I have been toying with getting an ICD3. If the pickit2 support is slow in coming I may get one.
I would have my money on the PICKIT2 mod. Otherwise a deal on the PICKIT3 like the 10 pound PICKIT2 thing is gonna save it, otherwise will have to stick with an older version .

I don't like it but who am I
