I think you are all missing the point.  Neither Assembler is better nor C.
The point is that you use any of them for a particular use.  I think C is
a good language and, dispite its 'uglyness', is a wonderful way of accessing
system features from a HLL language.
I used it very much when I worked with UNIX and now I use much Assembler to
work with IBM.  It's just the best choice for the best moment.
