As someone so experienced with DOS, may I ask you something: Which script interpreters do you run from it? Is it sane for doing python development for example? And how do you glue that stuff together, using batch files? Isn't that ugly as hell?
One thing that I've come so accustomed to in unix environments is the ease of creating CLI tools in a nice language like python and then glue it all together with bash scripts. I can't really imagine being so productive in DOS, but maybe I just don't know it enough, hence the question.
