Using assembly language inside Basic was hard, but fun. The same graphic pattern, built in asm, moved faster on a 4 MHz PC than it does now in Win on a 1 GHz PC. Granted, the newer systems can do a -much- wider range of things, but I'm not sure that running 250 times slower is a good tradeoff for those abilities.
