Hi! I am not the right person to answer this and don't want to spread any nonsense. There are others here who are.
What I can say is, any m68k CPU in its era was much much saner than any member of the x86 family. Today, I would rather look for more sanity at sparc64 (which survives in rather small niche market) or alpha (which has been violently murdered). But hey, I don't have assembler level experience with neither of these two. Nonetheless, as I said earlier, I would focus on the platform which is the target of my development efforts.
