>By comparison the 680x0 on classic Mac was a pleasure to program. A nice large simple flat address space.
That was a 32 bit processor. Yes things are simpler for large programs when you have lots of memory to put your code in and your instructions can take lots of space. The 68000 was as a result a lot easier to design. It was basically just a PDP-11 clone.
