Sure, I intend to use JTAG in my next project, but the PCB for my current project is already routed and built, cost me an arm and a leg (60 Euros for a single sided Euro card, without even solder mask or silk screen !).

I feel your pain ;-) During my industrial placement, I spent 13 months programming micro-controllers all day long, but was enjoyable and time traveled faster than light. However in the middle of the placement, I spent 3 weeks on MS Visual Basic to write a little application to retrieve data from a data logger... these 3 weeks felt more painful than the 12+ months spent working on MCU's... 3 weeks of hell I tell you... never again I hope !
