If anyone tells you C is superior to HLASM, don't believe it.
I agree with a lot of what you've written. We use SPMs for our coding (with FLOWASM of course) and a LOT of powerful macros for calling services, building tables, etc.
One thing I do like from C is that the compiler can optimize the object code for a particular generation of hardware -- automatically taking advantage of new instructions as they become available. In HLASM the instructions are hand-coded and therefore cannot be automatically optimized.
