Turbo C 2.0 user manual from the same site - it is just a gold mine.

I don't understand - the debugger in Turbo C was such a delight and inspecting structs, linked lists etc was so easy and somehow fit nicely on these old screens.

In VS today everything feels so cumbersome and convoluted I almost never bother witht the debugger, and instead just look at stack traces instead.

As Borland fanboy that used most of their products until early 2000's, and nowadays lives on VS, I fail to see what is actually missing.
