WDSC does a lot of things really well, but for plain old RPG /free
development I find few advantages over PDM.
I'm glad to hear that someone feels the same way I do. I was beginning
to think that something is wrong with me.
I've been using PC based editors since before OS/2 was Warp. I also had
a long stint with the mainframe Xedit. That gives me a somewhat
different history and viewpoint from many System i programmers.
Like Scott, I feel like the features typically advertised for WDSC don't
do anything for me. I had a love affair going with Code/400, and the
major reason wasn't screen real estate, coloured tokens or matching
IF...ENDIF.
I'll keep it short because the WDSC list is a better audience, but the
main things I found valuable in Code were ReXX macros and regular
expressions. Eclipse (the base of WDSC) does not have a macro facility,
but regular expressions are alive and well.
