I would say that this is wrong. The only reason for me not to use assemblers is the portability. Proper written C code can be compiled on x86, ARM, SPARC, POWER or Itanium and still results in a usable program. Assembler programs are written for a single CPU type. I might be even a problem to switch between 32 and 64 bits on an x86 CPU.
