But you have to admit, MASM makes Windows Assembly a hell of a lot easier because you have the Win32 API at your fingertips.

Plus, because -you are not forced- to use the API during coding, you can make your ASM programs just as fast and usable as Assembly programs made with, TASM or NASM for example.

Some of the best Assembly coders I've ever seen use MASM, and don't use the API because they've found things to work around it.

I suppose for Win32 coding, MASM is way better than some other things.

I'm thinking MASM for Windows and the API, and T/NASM for just general stuff.
