Yes. I like the DOS GUI of Rebel too.
As long as a DOS program beats fritz, i don't need windows.

a dos program is installed easily. and after a windows
crash you don't need to reinstall.
when you setup windows from the scratch, you have to
reinstall all your 30 windows chess programs. thats really
annoying :-((
