Mr.Cool said:it is NOT true that pic basic pro produces "non-transferable" code. in the compiler options of version 2.42 you can select "produce assembly code".

The biggest disadvangtage by using BASIC instead of C is the portability.
It's much easier to port C code to another microcontroller and/or compiler.
C is the "industry standard".
C is more flexible and generates faster/smaller code than BASIC.
Another big advantage in using C instead of BASIC is the number of code libraries and examples available.
You can find lots of code examples for C and it's easy to reuse C code made for another microcontroller.
You will also find a lot more experts to ask for help about C programming than BASIC programming, since C is the high-level language used by almost all professional embedded programmers.
BASIC is almost only used by hobbyists.
If you haven't already learned BASIC, I will strongly suggest you learn C instead.
I don't use BASIC myself, but I ahve heard from other BASIC programmers that PIC BASIC Pro is a good choice if you want to use PIC BASIC.
