And of course the reason we need to do this is because we have a crappy
development environment. After all, we all grew up writing code in SEU,
and most people still use it today. In my latest survey, more than 77%
use SEU/PDM exclusively, while another 11% use it as their primary tool
but also use either CodeStudio or Code/400. Only 3 percent have weaned
themselves off SEU/PDM.

Which goes to show you, even after a decade of GUI-based RPG editors
such as CODE/400 and CodeStudio being available, often for free or
nearly free, there is still no compelling incentive to leave the
high-speed keypunching enablement that SEU provides. And that's a darn
shame. :(
