Nope. Don't miss it at all. But I don't dislike it. It worked well for its time. I still play with it some times on my Tandy computers.
I currently have the Tandy 1400LT on the desk and I'm playing with Turbo Pascal, remembering my college days.

Tandy dd more than run Tandy's Command Language? (their form of DOS -- it's how I learned batch file programming before ever seeing a PC)
I had a dozen notebooks filed with tinily hand-printed programs, both
from Compute! magazine & my own creations!

I've never heard of a Tandy Command Language.
I know that their TRSDOS/LDOS systems had a batch file system similar to MS-DOS' .BAT files. Then there's the Model II line with Xenix with the
Unix-like batch files.

Yup. Back in the day when we were poor kids and no access to a printer.
hand-printed programs disappeared decades ago.

TRS80 JCL (Job Control Language) -- yes, basically DOS batch files; playing with this led to me acing a DOS course I took the next year. .
Shortly after the last time I posted to this thread, I was looking
through my TRS-80 documentation and what did I find? "JCL by Chris" by Christopher Fara.
It's on my list to explore. Now I just need to wait until I get the new power supply for my 4P.

4P? Wuzzat?
I've used DOS 1.0, 2.1, 4.01, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.22
Windows 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, ME(slow as molasses in January, in Alaska), Vista(pure evil!), XP(not bad), 7.0, 7.1., 8.0, 8.1, 10(only until Sep-2022, apparently)
I've used Commodore Vic20, C64, 386, but not yet used an Amiga myself (just gone on several BBSes running it)
I got my start in Radio Shack on weekends, or when playing hooky. . . whastever display they had up (Colecovision game system, a 286, or whatever, I explored--usually just a wee bit beyond what they expected/allowed) (I was That Guy -- rules were made because of me! *sigh*)
