.. combined with the complexity of writing assembly on modern CPUs: Optimizing for the pipeline, out-of-order execution, delay slots, and other tricks (depending on which CPU you're programming for). Those things can be really tricky to get right when doing assembly programming by hand. Back in the days when I did assembly programming myself I didn't have to think of any of that (6502, z80,6809, minicomputer assembly).
