Many science fiction writers still use WordStar for their work. Do you also use retro software as your daily driver for certain tasks, i.e. as the main application for carrying out specific tasks that you need in your modern work?
I’ll leave the definition of retro a bit fuzzy but WordStar clearly qualifies. Also, for the purpose of this question the retro software may run on any retro or modern hardware, directly or via emulation. Here I’m focusing on software.
I’m curious about your experience.
I’ll go first. I use Medley Interlisp as my daily driver for Lisp development. Granted, I do hobby programming and not production work but I run Medley Interlisp for most of my personal projects in preference to modern Lisp environments.
My question was inspired by this discussion.
