yeah, it's still pretty good for a lot of things. I've found with AI it's now super easy to do native win32 apps really easily. It used to be doing all the plumbing was a PITA. There were wrappers to make it easier, but now you can do it directly. It means you get super performant, tiny binaries, that start instantly. Like windows should be. However, at home I've moved to linux a while back so way less useful to me now, though works fine with WINE. I still use it to make little utilities for work though.
