I know too many people that never did/will use Linux, but much less which never used DOS. DOS is tiny and powerful to do very reliable job, and it is still popular because of its size and simplicity. Dropping DOS was a mistake in my opinion.
At the time, I recall asking the community for people who had the same feeling about DOS as you and would be willing to put in work to keep it going. No one raised their hand, IIRC. This sort of thing totally fits Irv's comment about ancient computers.
I raised a paw, but it got hammered back down with the requirement that all OE development required C coding. Plus there's a lot of old resentment in this place. I use a dos console several times a day, and i use EU to call console utilities and dos functions.
