DOS sux at everything more advanced than printf(). However,
as it is so simply, you have complete control over it. And you
will never have to worry that something leaks and you got a
partition less, as it is single-tasking. DOS should still exist for
teaching new programmers and hacking hardware. MSVC
doesn't even support printf() AFAIK (or was there a consolemode?).
