From what I've seen of the PDP-10, the VAX-11 instruction set
was superior.   I'm sure the PDP-10 folks will disagree, but
simply thinking about character handling on the PDP-10 gives one
a headache.
 
Now, for *real* fun, try the PDP-8, where you don't even have a
subtract instruction...!
 
That was my first machine[*].   TAD and DCA.  Spent some
time disassembling PIP from an octal dump.
 
We were running under TSS/8.24 and quickly learned how to
obtain admin account privileges.
 
[*] Technically, I had a week on a B5500 in 1974, but we only
    played games and toyed with simple BASIC programs.
 

Another classic machine, but with a few weaknesses.
