Much agreed. Intel syntax just seems somewhat alien.

Intel syntax is more similar to ARM, MIPS, and even RISC-V's official syntax than AT&T.

That's interesting. My entire world revolves around x86 and ARM, so "Intel" syntax (which to me mostly means op dest, src) is what seems normal to me.
Order of dst and src i have no strong feelings about, it's all the rest that i find weird about intel syntax.

dest = src
That's how I think of it.
ALSO: I really do not like the MOV instruction; I much prefer LD. The Z-80 instruction names got everything mostly right.
I started with Z80, and later moved to X86. To me intel order is the correct order, and everything else is weird and wrong!

But all the Intel instruction documentation unsurprisingly uses the Intel syntax!
