I'm from the era of RWD and no safety aids. Learned to drive with RWD (and stick). I've known some pretty good drivers who wish they'd had a bit of DSC intervention, in "the good old days" when nannies weren't on the radar.

IMO, there is a time and place for getting to know how a chassis performs, but cars used as daily drivers, we also have a responsibility to other road users. We can all make mistakes. Drive safely guys!
Good points. Also to the comment of surviving the 80s and 90s without today's driver aids - most cars also has like 200hp or less back then and were naturally aspirated. Much different ballgame today where your basically family sedan has 300+ hp and gobs of toque available at near idle engine speeds.
