> Why do people use the AT&T syntax for assembly language? It sucks and needs to die [1] [2] [3]. It's just the syntax. Get over it. You get used to it in a few days, and using Intel syntax over AT&T doesn't make your programs any better. > I would support an effort to remove it from the GNU toolchain. That would break a lot of existing applications, removing it from the GNU toolchain would be the easy part. You can still use .intel_syntax directive with the GNU toolchain or use another assembler like NASM or YASM. But in practice it's often easiest to just avoid hassling with assemblers and toolchains and use the AT&T syntax, despite the fact that you might not like it.
