TASM ain't free or open source, doesn't support x86-64, is bloated, only outputs to OBJ, but at least it supports MASM compatibility (and your precious strucs, macros: irp, ifnb, and other such muck).

NASM and FASM do accept "-d" now (as does YASM or Watcom's WASM). FASM is probably the fastest assembler (even with including opcode size optimizations) and has several IDEs. Granted, this isn't as apparent on newer machines, but I was messing with my 486 the other day, and I can see where it would be significant (e.g. VIA C3 or similar). But hey, to each his own.
