The Z80 IS a good CPU, but like most architectures it has its strengths and
weaknesses.
The above statement may well be considered more true in the form "I dare say
Z80 was *THE* best 8 bit CPU ever for [x].". Although I'm not too sure
what 'x' is. 

Sorry friends but I'm not a 6502 faithful. I've used a lot of different
architectures and appreciate them for their qualities. Just about the only
only ones I don't like using are some proprietary embedded monstrosities,
and the x86 core.
