Personally, I happen to agree with you that the 5250 data stream got not
merely the short end of the stick, but the end that had been shoved up a
cow's defecatory orifice.
I assert that when IBM stopped expanding the capabilities of the 5250
data stream, it would not have been all that difficult to expand it to a
point where it was on a parity with XWindows. But instead, it got left
as it was, with the 3489 as the peak of 5250 terminal development, and
most of even those advances made earlier in the 3477 left out of the
5250 manual, documented in a patchwork of controller manuals, restricted
manuals requiring NDAs, or left completely undocumented.
But then again, IBM has been treating midrange systems, and everything
connected with them, like a bastard child ever since its Rochester
facility, charged with inventing a new generation of unit-record
machines, invented the S/3 instead.
