Re:Two's complement – You beauty by bsder on Thursday January 12, 2017 @03:06AM (#13380605)
Is it a drawback? If your "compare to 0" is "are all bits the same", then it would be an advantage.

An asymmetric range is a "drawback" of two's complement. Is that a drawback?

It depends upon what your building blocks in the technology are. For example, we don't use J-K flip flops anymore because they are a pain to make and use when MOSFET's are your building blocks (J-K wants bipolars).
