Better for what? Networking? Multitasking? Security? Probably.
But for small, single user apps development in a stable
environment DOS 6.22 is ideal. A Porsche might be considered
"better" than a Ford but plenty of folks buy Fords to do the job
they need done. And a Ford probably does that job "better".
One size does not fit all, despite what the marketing types say.
