It looks like the folks at IBM are listening to customer requests and realizing the web version of Navigator is not a very good database development/management productivity tool and are bringing back the features we have had for years within IBM I Navigator and packaging them in with the next version of ACS slated to be released this month.

This is important because recall that the old Navigator is not a supported product on modern OS's (such as Windows 10).

It seems they even kept the Windows 3.1 era icons around in the "new" ACS database management features.

This is all highlighted near the end on this youtube video by Scott Forstie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AqkycKqjME&feature=em-uploademail

Now here is to hoping they get something on par with SQL Management Studio one day. But I'm guessing that would take a lot more development resources than they have available. At least it's a step in the right direction, even if it isn't in the direction I wish they would be taking such as making IBM Data Studio the defacto DB2 management tool for any flavor of DB2. For now we have to live with a fragmented tool landscape.
