I don't think so. Programming for a multitasking, GUI - OS can never
be simpler than programming for a single-user, single-task, non-GUI,
rather-simple OS (yes, this is DOS :-).

I have been programming all kinds of software under DOS for a couple
of years now, and I have also done some Windows programming.
Somethings are easier under Windows (networking is a clear example),
but for many other things, DOS is much easier. And it is even easier
if you can use DJGPP :-)
