WTF does "I have you fail to do as such" mean?  And there you were, 
talking about "flawed thinking patterns"... <derisive snorts of laughter>

That sounds like typical whining from an incompetent fuckwit ... oops ... 
I forgot ... it IS typical whining from an incompetent fuckwit. 

>a) You can't understand it

No, it's just that YOU can't understand it; IMO, AT&T syntax is a lot 
better than Intel syntax and the gcc extensions to inline ASM are very 
flexible (in the hands of an adept, they can become quite powerful).

>b) you can't write fluently in it

You can't write fluently in any language (especially English, it would 
seem), so I don't know why you're whining about another's lack of "fluency".

>c) it's extremely non-portable

I don't know if you realise this, moron, but ASM is generally not 
portable between architectures/platforms.

>d) it would be easier to add intel asm support

Get NASM, you useless gimp, and stop whining about it.

Do that, then, you pompous ass ... and stop whining just because we won't 
cater to your incompetence.
