Man. First with x64 assembly did Intel catch up with where Motorola was over 2 decades ago with their 68k series.
Lack of registers (and a logical organisation of those) and the boilerplate load/unload pain that caused when trying to write any non-trivial code was why I just stopped doing assembly when I moved to the Intel platform.
Such a shame they didn't address this earlier.
