There is a lot if "inertia", few professionals are willing to learn something new. This includes the ones that use php, net, etc, and, sadly lots of RPG programers that steel write programs for 5250.

The new RPG applications written for 5250 contribute a lot to the perception of RPG as an old language. And for lazy and/or incompetent people, it is a lot easier to say: "it is obsolete" rather than say the truth: "I am not capable of learning something new".

Probably the same reason I use RPG for web apps. I know it and haven't found a compelling reason to change (and I have looked).
Which might be one definition of 'not easier'.
