By that logic companies that make micro's should give away assemblers since
that will only help sell the hardware. But in reality they are sold as
seperate products.

I agree with you in that it would be nice to have a basic no frills method
to enter designs that wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg. Something like
PALASM2 thhat basiclytranslates your design into a fuse pattern would really
be nice. The high priced spiffy tools should be sold because they make the
process easier or add extra features but not because they are the only way
to do the job.
