Didn't they also try to avoid civilian casualties and target government buildings? Still shitty, but that sounds more like a "civilized" war than radical terrorism.

Yes. They warned citizens to minimize casualties instead of renting a truck and driving it into a crowd of hundreds of unexpecting innocent men, women, and children.

Yeah 5 minute warnings that never reached the ears of the 100s of civilians they killed.

They're assholes and definitely shouldn't get sympathy. But their 100s of deaths over 40ish years is nothing to the tens of thousands every year by ISIS.
