A bit of a mess is an understatement. Think about it. Does the engine in your car matter?
And yet it moves. Sorry, Discworld reference... And yet, all but the entire digital consumer world runs on x86. Maybe if I refine my question - unless you're programming in assembly, what difference does it make? On that note, ppc assembly isn't as scary as some people pretend it to be.
Despite that, there is one MIPS-like cpu / project that I attempt to keep on my radar and that's OpenRISC. http://opencores.org/or1k/Main_Page
PPC assembly ain't so bad... ;)
