Oh yeah, there's still stuff that should be done in ASM. Really low-level device drivers, portions of the OS kernel, video drivers, certain graphics routines, stuff for embedded systems... but most of the time, you'd just write the same stuff in C and have it compile into something better than what you could have written.
