Yeah, seriously, learning a bit of Java and being able to implement Arduinos LCD and various other Data libraries will still be faster than programming a PIC to do what you want...
PICs are great for real low level stuff and are VERY tried and tested in many applications, but for most other things that aren't critical, you may as well take advantage of the high level coding you can do on an Arduino or similar... There's also the new ones which are 32bit like the Arduino Due and the Atmel AVRs for even more advanced stuff you can do!
