FASM just chooses shorter encodings by default since 99.99% of people want it that way. As far as direct .EXE creation, how is that suspicious? It's only a header with relocs or whatever, not exactly rocket science (although Tomasz is a pretty smart guy, duh). Besides, FASM is smaller and faster than NASM. Actually, both are good (duh) but at different things.
