Coding in assembly is a must for some things - Especially if you don't 
need complex decision structures and aren't doing a lot of "big number" 
math.  Doing it for everything is just being stubborn - IMO.  ;)  I like 
the tightness of assembly, but I have projects that would be a nightmare 
done that way.  Can you imaging a Zigbee stack coded in assembly? 
<shudder>.
