I love it! Especially with my V5R4 update with WDSC v7. For straight-out
coding, it's a great tool. Especially if your library list references
are set, the outline view gives a good program structure and quick
"zooming" to subroutines, procedures, etc. Color coding similar to
Visual Studio to identify reserved words, functions, etc. Free scrolling
instead of page-by-page scrolling. Too many more benefits to add.
For us, using Aldon LMI in 5250, I still have to manage source code
management, compiles, promotions, etc. in the 5250 screen, but that's
just a small annoyance and not reflective of WDSC.
I'm trying to drag my coworker (kicking and screaming) into WDSC.
Finally got him used to using iSeries Navigator (ours is an iSeries) for
SQL stuff and general administration.

That "viral" was awesome! Brings back memories of when I was a
programmer..... and why I'm not one now.....

Question, though, for this panel. How many of you are using WDSC and
how
many are still using PDM/SEU? I can't get my programmers to move onto
WDSC, and it looks like it should be sweet! They say it's too slow and
cumbersome..... and they ARE very fast.
If I did more programming (which I sadly don't have time for), I'd be
doing
a more thorough shakedown myself.
Opinions, please?
