I love ARM, I think it may be my favourite asm family, although MIPS has its aficionados and I'll always have a soft spot for 68000. x86 is... like someone started with a simple mud hut and tried to turn it into a mansion by successively hot-gluing renovations to it over 30 years. There's really a tiny modernised flat buried somewhere in there which provides all the light and heat and amenities, but there's plasterboard all around it because they're trying to pretend it's really still the same old mud hut with a fancier roof. Truth is, the mud hut fell down decades ago and now it's all glue, duct tape and make-believe. (I think my analogy got lost somewhere along the way there, but that's kind of my point. Bloody μ-ops.)
