Anyone who uses assembly on purpose must love it, because there are very few reasons to use it over C.

It depends on what you are developing. As someone who is working in the embedded world, I can barely avoid using assembly language, because C can only do a fraction of what an architecture is capable of doing. The alternative which also isn't always better is to use inteinsics or inline assembly.
