While I might disagree with the tone, I certainly agree that
the existing 68000 compilers for the Mac are disappointing
in their use of peephole optimization. The 68000 is no VAX,
but it has many peephole optimizations that can be done;
while every compiler does not recmove needless code
(like ignoring the function result) is beyond me.
I'd have to disagree on the assembly code output issue.
MPW allows you to DumpObj to reconstruct the assembly
code, which is good enough for most purposes.
