I really have to take issue with this, particularly since it is  
in response to a post from someone familiar with the DOS  
environment.

The development environment you get with Borland C++ for DOS is  
miles ahead of NeXT in terms of compilation speed,  
interactivity, ease of use, debugging ability, and project  
management.  InterfaceBuilder is good, but Unix tools in general  
lag far behind commercial DOS offerings for usability.
