Indeed, I have fond memories of the Turbo C IDE. I wish conio.h would have been something under Unix, free from the VT100 cruft. ncurses is lacking and awkward to use. Apparently conio.h was ported to Linux (https://github.com/nowres/conio-for-linux https://github.com/nowres/conio-for-linux) but I don't think it ever was a popular option.
