RE: [WDSCI-L] WDSCi rant

[Kelly Cookson <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, something might be wrong with a 1000 lines of CL code in one program,
but it nevertheless remains true that WDSCi is slow and occasionally
crashes. 

The slowness of WDSCi significantly limits productivity gains from using it.
I'm not saying you won't see a productivity gain using WDSCi. I'm saying
you'd see a much bigger productivity gain from using WDSCi if it weren't so
slow. (Has anyone ever seen a large Java program that was fast? The only
examples of large Java programs I know are WDSCi and iSeries
Navigator...which is making me very skeptical about the performace
capabilities of large Java programs.)

The crashing is rare for me, but it does happen, and I have on more than one
occassion had to start a new workspace to recover. A minor pain in the butt.
However, I have NEVER had SEU or PDM crash on me, and that is the standard
to which WDSCi is being compared--like it or not.

Thanks,
Kelly
