RE: Is there any use of Development studio

I don't know what Development Studio Client for iSeries entails, but....

I use CODE400 instead of SEU for my C400 development.  As far as window
editors go, it's not top of the line, but I'm quite happy with it
(especially the Undo option).  I did have to do some customization to make
it behave the way I like, and the customization options are abundant. 
Only major issue with it is that I had to load the entire WDSC (websphere
development studio client) just to be able to use this (old-fashioned)
development environment.  Upon initial install, I created Code projects and
put shortcuts on my desktop, so I now never invoke WDSC client, but rather
go directly to the Code400 project environment.
Another nice thing about this is that when you're editing source members,
there is a lock on the member so no one else can get into it at the same
time (same as SEU).

All of that said, IBM is looking to move everyone to the LPEX editor in the
WDSC and may decide to drop Code400 in the future.
But to run WDSC environment without major slow-downs, you need to have top
of the line PC with lots of main memory (at least 1GB).
Well, at least that's my experience with it.

It's damned difficult to get answer to simple questions in the IBM-s world
:-(
May be I'll get it here..

I use ILE/C to develop applications on the AS/400 (V5R2) in native
environment in a purely traditional way: STRSEU, CRTBNDC, STRDBG and all
this green-screen stuff.
Not feeling annoyed in any way.

Actually the only thing I'm (well, sort of) missing is a multiwindow
development environment instead of SEU.

But there is a package laying for a year on my shelf - Development Studio
Client for iSeries.
Is there any use of it for MY TASKS?
