I fully agree with you when you are in a position to re-use your code.  That is
why I try to write most of my pic code into subroutines that I can re-use.  That
is why I still use assembly.  However, I try not to write code on the PC side
and do so only when I have to.  For that reason almost none of my code is ever
re-used and what little code I do write has no requirements for speed.  VB is
better for me cause it takes less time to get the job done and I can spend more
time on the bench blowing up my PCB's.

However, I have been in situations where C was the better choice. This year has
not one of them.
