You both can be right. I think there is a reasonable split here: [1] Smaller languages (BASIC, Pascal?) basically fall in the same class as scripting languages and are useful to have available. [2] Huge developer environments make more sense on a more capable operating system where you cross compile for DOS.
BASIC variants and OpenWatcom are good examples. BASIC tends to be small. Open Watcom runs on DOS but I'd never want to use it there. I'm infinitely more productive with multiple editing windows, a PDF viewer, and a virtual machine to test with.
