You are 100% right Mike, the great point here is that IF YOU NEED, you WILL
change the car's oil by yourself, by the same way if you need, you will
write assembly code.

That is an important point to call the attention to.  I personally know few
programmers that can die trying to convince everybody that C is better than
Assembly, without knowing even how to start an assembly coding.  You should
be wise enough to choose what is better, but to start with, you need TO KNOW
about the options, and not only have ideas about it.

If not, you can ending up in this situation:
Airline flight attendant to passenger:
   "Sir, dinner will be served, what do you choose?"
Passenger:
   "What are the options?"
Steward:
   "Yes or No".
