Actually, Jon, I do agree with you. I like and enjoy lots of new ways to
use the best platform out there. I really love the stuff using IWS, web
services make a lot of sense to me, and .json opens lots of new doors.
My first web page served off an AS-400 was openly available on the
Internet more than 20 years ago. So yeah, I like the new stuff.
On the other hand, some of the old stuff has a lot of potential because,
as is often mentioned, it works; day after day, season after season, it
just works.
5250 with a scroll bar? Why not have subfiles that page, inch, and
scroll, all with just one word; not one single line of programming
needed? I mention scrollbars and get scoffed. Yet my cell phone has
a scroll bar and no page-up/page-down keys; our users use scroll bars,
not paging keys. Other enhanced features are just as useful, and yes,
some of them are really, really clunky.
All in all, I accept that the 5250 horse is aging but 5250 doesn't look
dead to me. Still lots of it out there from any stories I here.

I know Booth won't agree - but the horse is dead and it is time to stop beating it.
