Having been working in 80's and 90's I can definitely say you're romanticizing it. The people you're referring to were the exceptions, not the rule. All the problems we have today were present back then, too. We also bashed the waterfall methodology back in the 80's! The biggest difference between now and then is networking is cheaper, easier to configure, more reliable and waaay faster!
