For many things, it's much quicker to fire up a test program running under an instance of DosBox than it is to re-assemble something, put it into a disk-image and then fire up Bochs, VirtualBox or the other virtual machine of ones choice.
You still get bare-bones access and the option of a much nicer debugger than a full virtual machine offers. Naturally, debugging boot-loaders and real-mode -> protected mode switches gets a little more interesting, but DOS is still a great test environment for some stuff.
I lurved (DR)DOS.

92% of Windows developers use Windows to develop! What a surprise!!!

Not sure what you mean by "developing".
I -
Edit code in Windows
Compile in Cygwin
Execute on bare metal, Nucleus, and QNX.

You could just put 'Other'?
Other covers pretty much everything else that's not on there - including responses which indicate the use of multiple operating systems.

That first part, I suspect.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

I do VS-2015 at work and Linux on my R Pi at home. Right now I have a laptop dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10. That might take me on some new path.

DOS is even still considered a development platform? Well, elephant me with a porcupine! 
|
|
|
|

I have a VM that boots MS-DOS 6.22. My 'development environment' is Microsoft C 6.0.
I use it to build an app that controls a fluid system in one of our commercial ink-jet printing systems. The app started out running on an industrial PC in a rack cabinet 20 years ago. Now it runs on a little board the size of a credit card, mounted inside the fluid system cabinet.

Well that's quite well justified then, but you could probably even use VS Code as 'dev environment' on Windows and just compile and test on the DOS vm. VS Code can easily be customised to do that all on its own.
|
|
|
|
|
I bet those who are developing on "DOS" are actually compiling code on the Windows command prompt. There are people who still call it the DOS prompt.
No idea what the elephant and porcupine have to do with it
|
|
|
|
|
The term 'elephant' in this context is a kid sister friendly euphemism for the act of copulation, and using a porcupine in that act would make it extremely unpleasant.
|
|
|
|
|
Not for the porcupine.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

It's even quite sad that people are still using the Windows Command Prompt when PowerShell 2.0 was already around in 2008, nine years ago. 2.0 was really the first practically useful version after a very experimental 1.8 as far back as 2006. PowerShell 5.0, extremely highly evolved, has already been out for one year today, Feb 14.
I was always jealous of the *nix scripting shells that were powers of magnitude more powerful that the old command prompt, with hardly any programmability, but now PowerShell 5.0 makes all of those *nix shells look a Fischer-Price product compared to .NET framework object oriented scripting.
And now that PowerShell is available on all common platforms, we're bound to see lots of awakenings in the non-Windows world.

I still use the command prompt every single day and it is a part of my development. Although if I need to script I do that in linux via PuTTY to one of our linux servers or on a locally using a cygwin terminal.

I have at least two PS windows open all day for dev purposes, and about once a month open a legacy command prompt because I'm too rushed or too lazy to find out how to achieve a certain "DOS" command in PS.

But some of my coworkers are developing on Linux, so when they add new source files, they do not add to Visual Studio project which is a source of frustration for me.
