Never did like the Intel architecture.
Always thought the 68XXX was better.
ARM is even cleaner.

The 68040 was an incredible chip, and the 68000, well, that started the Lisa/Mac/Atari ST/Commodore Amiga.

It takes someone with tech smarts to understand and code the x86 protected mode segmented memory design. The 68xxx was not very sophisticated and could never compete with Intel’s chips and their marketing. You sound like a linear memory bigot.
