I need some of that magic pixie dust that IBM has.  Then I could sprinkle it on 
their head and WALA! instant WDSC user.  :-)  I really think the new tools are 
great!  I know I might sound negative sometimes but it is just for improvement 
purposes.  The developers of the WDSC have done a good job but the work is 
never done.  It's a good thing too because someone would be out of a job soon.

I hate to agree in public, but I'm forced to.  Virtually every iSeries
programmer is automatically a 'hard core green screen addict' since they
overwhelmingly use SEU/PDM for all their coding needs.  An extremely
unscientific survey of those I've met in the past ten years tells me that
virtually nobody uses the SEU command line, and line commands outside of
C/D/B/A are exotic.

The point being that SEU users are very (no, extremely!) comfortable with
SIMPLE and PRIMITIVE.  If they wanted more features, they'd read the help on
SEU and use what limited function it has.  My logic may be flawed, of
course.  I don't personally think there's anything that can be done to
entice programmers comfortable with SEU over to a GUI editor, speed
included.
