Re: Bens

All nice features, but I think that the main thing is a long term view. To effectively go beyond 5250 (web pages, services, etc.) one needs to do these things in an IDE. It is a (excuse the expression) paradigm shift from PDM. PDM was only a mild change from simply keying SEU or SDA.
I only use WDSc for RPG programs. I could, for the most part, get them keyed faster in SEU. But I am of the opinion that I need to learn this paradigm (ouch, I said it again) for the long haul. Everyday I pick up new clues (mostly from this list, partly from just pushing buttons to see what'll happen).
That's, also, why all new code here is RPG IV, at least, and adding new concepts and techniques in ILE RPG as I go along. 

Besides, learning new stuff everyday is what makes this a fun job.

Along with all the things Eric mentioned, I would add the debugger.  Way better 
than the green screen debug.  Service entry points are awesome.

You will find people like it for different reasons.  Personally, I don't use 
code complete and I really don't like automatic syntax checking.  I find both 
annoying.  Others on the list like them a lot and would miss them sorely if 
they were to disappear.  Just a matter of different development styles.  Which, 
by the way, may be the biggest advantage of WDSc.  It is highly customizable so 
everyone can configure it to be the most efficient working environment for them.

Personally, I see the outline, code-completion, and online documentation
being the best features.  I like being able to work offline.  I also like
the simple things like colorized source, bigger editing window (less paging
up/down/right/left), and the verifier....  If you have change management in
your shop, there are most likely plugins for WDSCi that can really make your
job a breeze.

Best of luck....
