The amazing thing about Turbo Pascal was that my memory was better, my focus was better, I could stay up much longer and my right knee didn’t hurt.

Edit: I think there is a lot of “do it because we can do it not because we benefit from it” in modern software. But fetishizing the past gets a bit silly. I do still remember getting plenty of useless documentation in old TP. And blasting through an interface that lags behind your typing is how you end up doing something completely unpredictable because one keystroke was a bit off.
