That was hilarious. I have seen that EEVblog review guy before, and he
is quite eccentric. But he is also a good reviewer, but in the PicKit 3
review I think he got a little carried away^^
So seriously, I think I am going to go for the PicKit 3. Right now, I am
actually supposed to burn a PIC, but my lovely Velleman board keeps
telling me "No Device ID found." Anyone got a clue? It is the K8048, see
here:

I am programming the PIC with master clear disabled, as well as internal
4MHz RC oscillator enabled. Could this be the reason? The Velleman board
has a 3-state-switch from RUN - OFF - PROG. When in OFF position, all is
well. When in RUN position, all is well, the program runs (i.e. the LEDs
on board (RB0:5) flash the way they are supposed to). Now: switch
position on PROG, the program still runs(!). What the heck?! When I
enable master clear this does not happen. But all PICs that I have
programmed once with this master clear disabled and then placed on that
board are reluctant to get programmed again. PICs that I programmed with
external oscillator and master clear enabled work just fine and can be
burned again and again. It seems almost as if the master clear disable +
internal oscillator makes it a lot harder to burn these PICs.
Any ideas? I am quite confused.

The PicKit 3 is an excellent programmer.
I was put off by the review here:

But I was amused by the response of Microchip at:
