By editting a HUGE monolithic CONFIG.SYS file in c:\ that isn't even readable
anymore in OS/2. And every time the OS decides to edit it your local
changes are gone or mutilated.

Windows .. registry .. user friendly ?

It's simpler, yes, but because of that it doesn't work either.

Don't try compare Unix to DOS 3.3. DOS 3.3 is definitely simpler.
