I know many System i developers that cling to 5250 and their Twinax
screens. . . .
I still use real terminals because I have yet to see anything better.
Lots of things that are slicker, glitzier maybe, but nothing better. And
I'm too damn busy, and too damn poor, to retire!
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: had IBM not abandoned
development on the 5250 data stream after the 3489 (and had they
maintained the docs and development tools to allow one to write to even
the 3487-level enhancements, instead of barely keeping them up to
3477-level), today's 5250 data stream would probably have most of the
graphical and windowing capabilities seen in X-Windows.
