RE: Anyone using Orion for editing yet ?

So far you guys are confirming my doubts as to real-world IBMi programming use-cases.

I watched an IBM video on it and their use case was: dude at the airport needs to make and commit a quick change so someone else can then check it out and build-it. I'm paraphrasing that but the general use-case felt a little fuzzy for real-world.

Better option: Fire up my super-fast ultrabook and make a quick change or call someone at the office. Tell them: Do this and that and the fix is done.

UI looks a lot like VS Code/Atom though so they get an "A" for porting effort.

We use "vi" for shell scripting and sometimes Notepad++ with ftp plugin

It's still bleeding edge. So far the only real appeal IMO is the zero
client footprint. Although personally I've never felt the need to do
dev work on my phone or tablet.

Tried Orion. Much trouble for little gain. I use jEdit to edit files
in the IFS via its FTP(S) plugin

Started it up and took a quick look last night.

Seems to be more of a git client, check out, edit and commit
environment, but no real integration to compilers or command line
access

built in.
