You can just do what I and I believe a few others do here. We use our favorite editors and compile on the command line.
I use Edit Plus and I can compile and look at the error messages inside the editor. Then I use MPLAB to read in the HEX file and program the chip.
Using your own editor you can have spelling checking, macros, color coded lines, etc. Plus you can use the same editor for years and for may other tasks as well.
