It's good to see that there's effort being made here, but personally (as a physicist and electrical engineer) there seems to be room to go and I, too, think that the MP Lab IDE is a total let down. This is exacerbating given how much I was charged for it.
I think it might be best if it were to work not merely with C, but also PICBasic and straight-up assembler, as unlike most programmers we often do have to worry about memory and program size constraints. It would also be nice to have a simulation module that tries to work out how the program would run on the actual chip (virtual machine style).
In the meanwhile, you might consider an alternative of some of the tools available for Ubuntu. They're just as functional and easy to get a hold of. Look for the piklab, gpsim, and gputils packages; they're in the main Ubuntu repository next to a few others. It's not Eclipse, but it's the next best thing.
