Re: Looking for like-minded programmers who use the enhanced features of 5250

<snip>
To me, one pretty-good approach is to have the 5250 character-based
interface available, along with a graphical interface - people can learn
to use what is more effective for the work they do.

In theory this sounds good. What often happens however is the 5250 gets
the most effort and the GUI gets as much attention as the 5250 help screen
which says "my boss said to put some text here".

And as the thread about SDA (also going on at this time) is showing there
seems to be some concern about people jumping between the two. Like one
or the other has to be the controller.
Me, I have dozens of tabs in various application open today. And today
was a reboot day.
