From: DennisRootes@xxxxxxxxxxx

but I think the emulator idea itself is
outdated. I'd like to see the day when you can do everything inside the
IDE and it doesn't just emulate a green screen, it replaces it with an
entirely new way of doing things, an interactive gui environment that
resembles green screen about as much as a 747 resembles the Hindenburg,

You already have it. It's iSeries Navigator. I disagree with the
fundamental idea that everything should be done inside the IDE... the IDE
should be for development (hence the D in IDE), and management should be
done in a management application like iNav. For example, you don't
configure your Windows services inside of Visual Studio, and you don't
manage your Unix environment in Netbeans.

IBM wrote iNav a long time ago and we still don't use it. I doubt that IBM
will be rewriting all of iNav to run inside of WDSC anytime soon, and
frankly I hope they don't waste the time. I want more development tools,
not a better way to manage an output queue.
