Also came through that era, I don't miss it, modern tools are abstractions for the brain (and a logical progression from what we had before). Everything is so much bigger and more complex than it was (mostly because things are bolted together from a large number of libraries from different places with their own subtle or not so subtle conventions). In days of you had the languages standard libraries and libraries you wrote yourself and very rarely some Hallowed Third Party Library that was handed down on stone tablets by the Prophets of the Finance Department. Some stuff I miss, most I don't.
