Sorry, my choice of the word hate was intended to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I'm relatively tech agnostic in terms of projects, although as a relative latecomer, I cut my embedded teeth on the Arduino, so I'm somewhat partial to Atmel tech. In the past though, I've done stuff on the Arduino, and then burned it directly onto a compatible Atmel 8-bit chip to place on a board. I haven't actually done of my own PCBs yet though, so I'm still a piker.
Hats off for your use of assembly, I haven't done any assembly since my Commodore 64 days, but am hoping to get back into it at some point.
