True. Let's rephrase as "if you want your programs to do the same things
they did under MS-DOS, they're just as hard to write now and no harder."
My point is that programming has gotten easier over time (such as with the
invention of OOD, sophisticated IDEs and debuggers, etc) but the ambitions
have grown greater.
