Because I object to the overhead imposed by a
graphics interface. All the stuff I write is
very sparse (usually) statistical or quantitative
linguistics algorithms, typically 30K of executable
code. It all runs at the DOS prompt and when I
want a proper user interface, I write it from
scratch to minimize the hassle of input.
What runs at a DOS prompt will run under Windoze
anyway. But not the other way around. So a
compiler that imposes on me a graphics interface
is unwelcome. That is what kept me from taking up
Oberon/F or POW Oberon, which both require Windows.
Changing the interface to what I want it to do
is just too much hassle. It is faster and more
efficient (to me) to write from scratch.
