I agree with you... I've had the same problems with WDSC crashing and 
causing me to lose a lot of work.  Not a whole day's worth -- though even 
losing a few minutes can be a major problem for me!

One of the great things about the iSeries was stability. Moving the editor 
to the PC means that the stability is gone, and you have to have extra 
safeguards -- and other editors, Word for example, do have these 
safeguards.

But, I also wanted to say that you can improve the stability of WDSC by 
updating it.  No, I don't mean downloading the updates that go from 5.1.2 
to 5.1.2.4.  I haven't found those updates to make much difference at all 
in what I do.

However, there are JVM fixes (and possibly other things) on the following 
site that really make a big difference:
