The problem is that you take it personally and have some unusual personal/emotional attachment to DOS --- taking offense to everything. It's not a "blatant bad attitude" --- it's that I am aware of the serious flaws in the OS. I don't pretend they're not there, that they're minor, or that DOS is somehow better than the other OSes available.

Yes DOS has its own "charm" - it's a part of history - a part of my own personal history in learning to use PCs, learning to program, etc. That's not being argued.
