Why do people worship the Motorola 68000 processor?

It's a terrible, terrible processor. I mean think about it. It has a more reduced instruction set than most Risc processors but it's a Cisc processor. OMG! Why do people like it so much? The 65C816 has an instruction set with way more complex instructions and it's still Risc. If you're smart you would know that (reduced instruction set)+(Cisc arcitecture)=(really bad processor)

65C816 could add two registers in one cycle
it takes eight cycles for 68000 to do that

65C816 could load in a number and use that as an adress for another number and use that as an address for a number to be loaded in using only one instruction, 68000 uses two instructions to do that. You call that a more complex instruction set?

Answers:
I agree with you. Maybe its because its just glorified in advertisment.
I don't know it IS total crap.
TRUE
because it the true god.
it depends on who's operating system it is using.. Unix. Linux. or slow Ms, find out the answer to that before you knock anything,,,

when testers test products they never compare their tests with every, equation. you should know that,
Keep in mind that the 68000 was developed in the mid-1970's, it's over 25 years old! That's ancient in processor development. I have worked with both Intel and Motorola and back in the day, the 68000 had flat 24 bit addressing whereas the Intel microcontrollers used segmented addressing. It was much, much easier to program the 68000.

Hope this makes sense!
