    You might not like it, but Borland yellow on blue was peak IDE design.

    Nostalgic!

    Personally, I have downloaded Borland themes for all my IDEs. I don’t use them, of course, because I’m not entirely insane and I value my eyesight too much, but I have downloaded them.

    I was developing 30 years ago and I love what’s available today. Nostalgia is fine, as far as it goes, but things change and sometimes for the better. This is one of those cases.

    I used Borland Turbo Pascal and C++ all through school and I have to agree, these were the most intuitive and efficient IDE’s I’ve used.

    I used the Borland Turbo Vision based UIs a LOT back in the day. They were very good for their time, but they can’t hold a candle to modern user interfaces.
