The transition from ANSI graphics to the ugliness of Windows 3.1 or even Desqview was pretty rough. I spent a ton of time in terminal emulators and BBS programs that I found much more intuitive and "pretty". Their graphical counterparts were hideous by comparison. I think I still carry some of that bias with me. I did have to do a quick check to see if this library required me to configure expanded memory, however.
