I agree completely, no one is trying to prevent you from using the DOS 
programs that you want to on ReactOS, its just no one who is currently 
working on ReactOS feels like implementing support for it at the 
moment.  However if anyone wants to write code for DOS support then go 
right ahead, just understand that it probably will not merged into 
ReactOS CVS anytime soon, if it becomes stable enough and elegant enough 
and there is high demand for its inclusion then it might be.
