My complaint is with you guys accepting broken as being "normal"....

Forget the style of programming.

I don't accept "broken" software - But I am realistic enough to know that as
long as it runs on Windows, there is nothing that IBM do that will _ever_
make it 100% bullet proof.  I have way more failures with iSeries Access
than with WDSC.

So given that I have a choice - do I work with it and help IBM to make it
better? While getting at least a 75% productivity boost?  Or do I refuse to
use it until it is perfect and suffer lower productivity with SEU in the
meantime?

To me it is a no brainer - I do not have enough patience to work with SEU -
no matter how many 5250 sessions I have open at a time.

Life is to short to use SEU.
