Same here, Atari 400. I did get to see some 6809 and 68000 assembly around the time of seeing x86 (and before I wrote any) that I accepted it--but still disliked it. Don't know what I disliked more: direction flag, all registers are special, segments. The weird instruction/register usage is likely one reason why x86 was faster/cheaper than programmer-friendly processors like M68k--which also made the 6502 a success.
