And yet how many people are using his assembly based firmware
framework even though it is supposed to be better?

At least for me I would not want to use assembly for the things I
am interested now (USB, TCPIP, etc), even with Olin's "high level"
assembly. C18 is way easier.

I know and I have learned quite some assembly. I know
and I highly respect experts like Olin who can make assembly
working wonderfully. And there are even people who insisted on
using assmbly even with very complex projects.

But I would not want to waste the time to perfect
my assembly skills.
