Free format is great.
It makes it possible that all kind of programmers that have learned nasty languages as C, Java and so on can also create things on the AS/400 in the best language there is and in that way bringing new blood to the developers pool on the AS/400.
Because of Free they understand what they are doing.
For me that is the only reason why Free exist (and that is a very good reason)!

I am not as trusting as you. If a company says you should learn Java or you will be flipping burgers, I have a tendency to think maybe they are making it more like Java to make it easier to leave RPG and go to Java.



The thing is that Free is not better than Fixed.
In Free and Fixed you can create exactly the same.

I agree, but you cannot code it the same in all cases (%KDS, Move) and as releases go by, I bet fixed will stay the same as it is today, and free will get the new stuff.
