Well, yes. Assembly language can be used quite well, commented well, macros added, et cetera. Nonetheless, if somebody was to ask me "should people use C or assembly?" I would immediately answer "C, if possible".
Even though assembly is capable of things that C is not. Even though using C instead of assembly is compensating for programmers being less brilliant rather than making them work for their good code. Even though the maximum quality of the code is less than for assembly. Even though the arguments for using C are all about how people use assembly, not whether it can be done well.
Despite all of those things, I'd still recommend C over assembly. Ditto for C++. And the Future Crew, who did wonderful demos in assembly language, can laugh at me all they like.
