I really miss the "old days" of programming. Things were simpler then. I fondly remember the early 80s programming on a Commodore 64, then moving to the early IBM machines and DOS.
Even though I favour a nix environment, there is more sanity in Windows programming circles methinks. I have been thinking about getting into some .NET development these days and moving away from doing nix stuff, altho I really love the BSDs.

A lot of times it feels like someone just copied a Java library into C# and did a bunch of global text replaces until the compiler stopped complaining. The BCL is very extensive, but if it's not already in the BCL, .NET is a pain.
