There was a certain simplicity and understandability
about Win9x,
yes, but NT was far more reliable, even back in the NT 3 era. ..
So I moved to NT as soon as my kit could run it, and never looked
back.
I was speaking from a user's perspective; I never did much coding under
Windows (well, a fair amount under Cygwin, using only the portable I/O
library, but that's not really _Windows_ programming).
From that perspective, 98SE was the sweet spot for me
(I don't have any
reliability issues, with the configs I run). I do have some XP
machines,
and the Windows 10 laptop, but most of mine run 98SE.
