Speaking of glib dismissals...
I also care for technical capabilities - such as not having to sacrifice multiple registers to operate on 32 bits of data, or having to issue multiple instructions to load and store 32 bits of data. I don't need to treat the 68000 as a completely different platform compared to when I write stuff that run on e.g. the 68020. I mainly need to accept the higher cycle counts.
