Ever since I got burned by Turbo C 1.0 and some inc + cmp problem (I dont recall what it was now) I dont feel right unless I look at my asm output, at least for small projects ;). Doing most of my work in embedded systems does not help either as I find it easier to debug asm output than C source a lot of the time. I guess its hard to teach an old dog. I'll take a logic analyzer and asm listings over gdb any day. If only I could afford a logic analyzer for my 486 ;).
