Just my opinion here, but most programmers would prolly
prefer working with other OSs because they can just do
more. There are Linuxes that run on 3 or 4 megs of ram,
and as little as 4 megs of disk space, or a 4 meg ramdrive.
No dickin with memmaker or config.sys or autoexec.bat to
try and squeeze enough memory, preemptive multitasking,
run a GUI, much easier to network or get on the 'net.
No matter how great a saddle and horseshoes you make,
nowadays, most people will drive a car to work. It's just
more pragmatic to design things for cars, than for horses.
Most Linux programmers know DOS quite well, they just don't
see the point in pursuing it any longer.
BTW millionare Mark Shuttleworth, hired a bunch of programmers.
That's how Ubuntu came about.
