SV: [basicstamps] PIC vs. Basic Stamp

Greetings!
There's only two REAL advantages to using a BS2 over a 'raw PIC'...
1. Ease of programming.
a. Simple syntax
b. Simple to debug.
2. Very easy to get help...
a. This list.
b. People from Parallax ON this list...
c. Tons of examples available online...
The fact that it already has a voltage regulator and those fiddly bits
around the oscilator doesn't hurt either. (They can be 'quite fiddly' if
you're making your own PCB)
:-)

What's the advantages of using a BS2 over a "raw" PIC? Ok, I know,
some of the advantages are obvious, but I'd like to see your list.
To take the programming variable out of the equation, let's assume you
were programming the "raw" PIC in PicBasic.
Specificaly, what could a decent programmer do with a BS2 that he/she
couldn't do with a PIC/UART combo?
Thanks
