AArch64 is a dramatically nicer instruction set than AArch32.

Is it actually? You loose almost all the conditional execution, lots of the interesting shifted addressing (I think Aarch64 allows shifts up to 3 only). You get more registers. Oh and no 16-bit instruction mode anymore.

Nicer that's debatable: it's better suited to 'high performance' implementation but that doesn't necessarily make it nicer for users..
