Lack of condition codes when the dominant paradigm (x86, ARM) is condition codes is weird. However, having 32 registers unlike x86_64's 16 makes up for some of it.

The base is too base and their bitfield extension is weird.

I'm sure those that only need the base disagree. For the rest of us, there's G (IMAFD).
