# Speaking as someone who writes Z80 code for a living
(yes, even in 2005 some things still have Z80, or to be precise Z180 in our case), no it wasn't.

# To be honest
it's the only CPU I know how to code for. Which is great, as I've recently acquired a Game Gear flash cart. :-)

# Well, I wrote a very brief comparison of the Z80
and 6502 (well, 6510, but the 6510 is basically a 6502) here. Search for "more advanced".

I have done Z80, Z180, Signetics 2650, 6502, 6809, 68k, x86, PowerPC, PIC and ARM assembly programming.

# Quite a lot then
What is it you currently do, then, that requires Z180 programming knowledge?
