Probably the same reason that most people continue to use a C compiler even after learning how to write assembly by hand: They have a lot of code to write, and the C compiler seems to get most optimizations better than the human. There will of course be exceptions; some people who can consistently beat the C compiler, and some people who just *think* they can or are intentionally perverse. Of course debhelper, like a good C compiler, is designed to allow inline "assembly" when you really need it, so it's quite easy to get the best of both worlds. -- see shy jo
