I have the same sensation, I moved to systems and mobile development but I would feel a bit lost if I went back. I catch myself reimplementing xBase-style utility functions like date and string manipulation in other languages, since they felt so sane in comparison. But I wonder that part of this nostalgic sensation was the result of an era that was simpler - no Internet, Web sites were a luxury, security was a distant concern, etc.
