What about code maintainability and readability - I'm guessing that must be worse when compared to a HLL? Also, what made you get into writing complex programs in assembly - was it just the extra control? I've used assembly when I needed to optimise my C code, but it was a slow and difficult process! I would not really choose it for complex stuff, but I'm really interested to hear your point of view.

Code maintainability and readability depends only on the programmers knowledge of the language/framework/libraries used.

For example, I don't know Lisp, so for me it is much harder to read/maintain Lisp project than assembly language project.
