Please STOP

Every time this discussion has occured (last for abt 2 months on the Philips forum) it turns "religous".

Some people want to use all assembler and have valid reasons for doing so.
Some people want to use all C and have valid reasons for doing so.
Some people use a mix and have valid reasons for doing so.

The choice really comes doen to 5 things

1) What tools do you have (an assembler is free a good compiler cost money).
2) What language(s) are you comfortable with.
3) What is your application.
4) Are you designing for low or high volume production.
5) Are you such a bigot that you will not even consider the other possibility.
