As a programmer coming into the RPG world from the Pascal/C/Basic world, I
must say that I like some of the things that RPG ILE has added to the
language that were not in RPG II/III/400.  I like the idea of modularity and
calling functions to do specific tasks.  The fact that these functions don't
have to be re-coded every time they are used in a program is a time-saving
benefit.  I cast my vote for RPG ILE.
