I love COBOL but .....

You have to be talking about RPG/400 right - which hasn't been enhanced since
V2R2.  RPG IV has many features that go way beyond the current COBOL
implementation on the 400 (ANSI '85). The vast majority of your other points are
also addressed to some degree by this version of RPG and more will be added.

I know of a number of shops doing new work in both COBOL and RPG - perhaps it is
different where you are.
