> Can anyone explain the deep nostalgia and longing for old DOS era software, and in particular VGA text mode interfaces? I’m not using any of those other old things you mention, but I love how I can run my full Emacs-configuration locally in a TTY, remotely over SSH or whatever with no loss of functionality. Having that capability is IMO a strength, not a weakness, and I wish more software was like that.
