I still think that old DOS programs using Turbo Vision and similar libraries (specially the Borland IDEs and apps) are more user-friendly than their current day Linux/BSD counterparts.

Turbo Pascal, Edit, XTree Gold, Sidekick, all those were really nice to use. The only app I remember in Linux that feels similar is midnight commander....

@soapdog I agree. After Borland fel down commercially, there was a real regression, even on frameworks. (I remember Borland C++ Builder, more powerful than today's QtCreator)
