You see, when working with the emulator itself, the mouse is not used, therefore
lies to the side.

EM> Have you been using IBM for a long time?

For a long time.

EM> Have you worked with many programs on it? Well, just know that the control you didn’t like is almost a standard for the DOS interface, since about 1990.

This is not the turbo vision you’re talking about.

Only when it becomes a tribute to fashion, it is no longer worth doing.

EM>>> For me, now it’s much better.
TY>> More beautiful - yes. Better - no.
EM> You're probably just not used to such an interface.

Okay. Explain - how did it get better? What to accomplishthe same
action must be pressed twice as many keys?

The program is not made in order to look at it, but in order to
work with it. And work efficiency cannot be sacrificed at the expense of beauty.
