Oh, I wouldn't say that (unfashionable, that is). Shareware
authors often advertise the fact if they wrote their programs in
assembly, and sometimes go on to point out the advantages: A
program that's small and fast. There's no compiler in the world
that can optimize like a knowledgeable programmer. IMHO, well-
written assembly is definitely a feature that savvy users look for.
