That's fair. I started out with MIPS32. When I first saw x86 instructions, and a `mov`, my first thought was, 'what the heck? Where are the loads and stores? `mov rax, [rip + 32]` is 3 instructions in MIPS or any similar RISC, this looks weird.'

Oh, yeah, I hate it. x86 instructions can already get pretty long; now you have multiple suffixes just to account for size. The indexing operation is just ridiculous; Intel syntax makes it so much more straightforward.
