Yea, C is nice because the language is pretty well standardized, but from a performance perspective on a PIC, for a new user, I see Mikroe and Crown Hill's Proton as very competitive in terms of performance and code footprint, and are MUCH easier in terms of syntax.
btw- the reference you provided seems to be limited in that it does not support PIC18 or dsPIC parts. Not sure how that is a positive considering the significant limitations of the PIC16 (memory paging, native functionality).

I'm R&D developing all day long, and I did put a blinkin' eye in the end. Right?
For most applications Basic is more than enough - I totally agree with you, but after a while even the least curious hacker wants something more. I didn't post the link to YAL to rack down on Basic, I added it as an alternative.
