I'm not convinced that Eu 4 is any more "complex" in use than Eu 3 - the basics are the same.
It's just that with Eu 3, you had to write and debug your own routines to do common tasks, while many of those now come "stock" with Eu 4. You are free to ignore those, and write your own if you wish.
As for "plain DOS" - you can boot up Linux in plain text mode, and run 3.1 or 4.1 programs there. Eu 3.1 and 4.1 for Windows seem to work with Wine, as well, but why bother?
Much better, of course, is to run them in a terminal - which allows you to still have an open browser to check documentation, an editor, etc. all available right there on the screen as you work.
I use a terminal all the time when debugging GUI programs, see photo here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cZrkNUlxUUHICAHB7XHgKX2duOQO-R7q/view?usp=sharing
And of course the best Euphoria editor (IMHO) is also a GUI program: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lXXrNleSwt4suxkcj53UZOgsanWFihNq/view?usp=sharing
