Agreed! Me, I cut my teeth on a 4K 6800 system, then moved up to a 6809. Did a
little work on the 6502 but wasn't happy with the way the index registers were
set up (eight bits each and each one is only good for certain modes)… plus I
missed the two accumulators. 8) Since then I've been through the 8048 through
8052, 80×86, 32010, 680×0, IBM mainframe assembly (did you know that THAT puppy
has no subroutine stack? "BALR"; yuck!), MACRO-32, you name it. And after all
of that, I STILL love assembly language. Even on a <blech> 8086 it has some
nice qualities. But if I had started on a 68000 or 8086 I think I would have
developed a fear of it due to the complexities involved.
