single source.

I didn't realize how much I liked this feature until you brought it up Jon.
Here is how I use WDSC: http://mowyourlawn.com/temp/wdsc_manyviews.JPG

If I am counting right I have six (6) views open at once.  If I need to view
a new window I just move my eyes (no ALT + TAB to another 5250 session).  Of
course a 22" monitor helps :-)

My thoughts are the same as many have already responded.  It runs on
Windows, so I give it more 'sway' when it comes to errors/problems.  Whether
we like it or not it is the new generation of how we interoperate with our
systems as programmers.  To put it short, it is sooOOOooo worth the few
painful moments (and they are painful - i.e. one shouldn't have to debug the
debugger to figure out why they can't debug :-).
