Used to like working on DOS. Many of the apps on it were very fast to use, as others have said.
And TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident programs) [1] were fun to use. I particularly liked Borland Sidekick (a multi-utility tool that could be popped up via a hot-key on top of whatever program you were running). [2] Sidekick sold tons of copies, I read.
Edit: According to the Wikipedia article below, "Sidekick sold more than 1 million copies in its first three years".
