Also, I find the C compiler to be a very handy translation tool which I can
use to speed up the development process immensely, precisely for the
reasons you stated.

My environment of choice started out as PASM, then SPASM, then CVASM.  Now
it's HiTEch C and the integrated assembler.  It's great to be able to use
those libraries of code I developed for the early Parallax tools in my
latest jobs.  The key was _not_ to use the Parallax macros, though.
