It's interesting. The first things I tried to find in my warren of old 800k floppies and such, once I had a Mac properly emulated on my PC, were MacWrite II and MacDraw II. The interface didn't get in the way of the work. Antiquated by modern standards, sure, I suppose: but you could just work.
(Emulation? It's cool, I own the roms. Some day, I *will* have a 1Ghz Mac SE. Oh yes. Running on a microATX in a Mac SE case.)
As an aside, I found vi terrifyingly obtuse and unpleasant until somebody shifted my paradigm filter and told me to stop thinking of it as a 'word processor' and start thinking of it as a 'file editor'. Bling! And thus was I enlightened. Sometimes the interface suitability is directly influenced by the expectations of the user.
