Andy,

Any time when I write C code I think in C
And I do not care about what is really happening
Inside of pic and C generated asm is hard to read
All labels are numbers hard to fallow. When any person starts writing
C code and never had any chance to do assembly that
Person knows lot less about internal operation of
Mcu then assembly person does because of assembly forces
to know more about almost every thing in detail. You
Started long time ago you learned every thing your case
Is different.

I use C because it lets me produce code quicker than I can in assembly.

But I'm pretty dang good in assembly, too.  I've worked in assembly
since
1980, and C consistently only about 5 years.  I love both - I was only
pointing out that your reasons for NOT using C are extremely flawed.
