As someone who grew up on the Commodore 64 and Amiga, I sorely miss the 68k platform. The few times I'm still forced to deal with the X86-architecture at assembly-level it just pains me to see the clusterfuck that modern the Intel-platform represents. The 68k was clean, nice, logical and let you work on the data you wanted to process. The X86 looks like a patchwork of instructions and registers added cumulatively over time, with no design behind them, and the majority of code is moving data in and out of registers, not actually processing the data. The X86-architecture marked the end for when I cared about knowing how things worked all through the stack. It was just too ugly for me to embrace.
