Assembler is potentially faster, buggier and certainly takes longer to write. So what? If I want a very fast program and are less concerned with developing time I use assembler. If I need to write a program fast that does something without bugs I might even use Basic :-) All languages out there has advantages and disadvantages, we use the one that is best suited for what we want. If a product doesn't do what you want it is 99% sure that the reason for that is poor programming practice rather than the language involved. Programmers out there should try to get a working knowledge of many languages and use the one that meets their present needs.
