Doug, it's an opinion, I guess.  You base yours on the fact that you
commonly misunderstand the MOVE instruction.  Somehow, I always managed to
figure it out.  In fact, junior programmers managed to figure it out.

In fact, this entire argument that MOVE is hard to understand is probably
the silliest thing I ever heard.  If you came into my office looking for a
job and told me that the MOVE instruction was "confusing" I'd send you
packing.

%editc is less confusing than MOVE?  Sell that to someone else.
