Simplicity indeed.  I practically scream at some of the build
and packaging complexity that comes with many of the open source
projects.  With absolute assembly, all you need is the basic
assembler and you get right to a hex file.  No linker complexity,
no library versioning problems. etc...  Ideal for publishing
a project for hobbyists.  Less ideal for commercial development
where you want to reuse your own code with minimal effort, but
still has the simplicity advantage.
