It's an interesting concept. I remember mainframes that had registers and no stack. But I think we'll continue to use architectures with both features for the foreseeable future. Stacks frames are great for passing arguments and containing local variables in structured programs, but good usage of registers can make a program fly.

I loved foolin' with the stack on the good old Apple II.
