"The tools were more primitive, but they did fit in 64k of memory."
I will take "primitive" over present-day bloat and complexity every time, quirks and all.
That programs fitting in 64K of memory have remained in continuous use and the subject of imitation for so long must be a point of pride for the authors. From what I have seen, contemporary software authors are unlikely to ever achieve such longevity.
