GUIs made for X11 or Win32 20+ years ago have aged terribly.

  But they still work, which is his point

  Is that opinion? Do you have any research to show that people find them harder to use than modern UI?

    Do you have an example of an X11 or Win32 app from 1995 which you think is especially usable today?

      - xfig - xterm - Paint - Wordpad We can argue how useful those versions of Wordpad and Paint are, especially with modern file formats, but they are usable. I won't blame you for disagreeing with xterm, but over 30 after it was first shipped it's still the closest thing to a standard terminal, and the UI is decent once you get used to it (and much like emacs, it's partially jarring at first because it predates some expectations).
