In my opinion, the problem is, far too many RPG/400 programmers were
"fat, dumb and happy" and continued to just stick their head in the sand
and ignored RPG IV and ILE and just kept on plodding along with good old
RPGIII.
(Heck, I even knew of one shop that continued to use the 'real' RPG-III
and CLP38 and compiled everything to run in the System/38 environment,
long after the AS/400 was introduced, and they no longer had any real
System/38 hardware.)
So, now, here we are, 15 years after ILE was first introduced (at V2R3,
mind you), and far too small a percentage of typical i5/OS or OS/400
applications programmers know very much of anything about ILE.
Oh, well, at least RPG IV is finally catching on. But I suspect that
far too many are still using it as a "better RPG/400" via the CRTBNDRPG
command. Perhaps IBM made it a little too easy to remain complacent?
That's my 2 cents worth.
What's yours?

Seems like a topic for general discussion.
