I don't think it's that mind blowing. My experience with MASM is that the built in macros that it provides for program flow control, defining and using data structures, and calling into code located in other modules (DLLs) takes most of the pain of writing assembly away. Couple this with the ability to define your own macros and it's really quite an enjoyable environment to develop in considering how low level it is.
