I was in one place where I was the sole Code/400 user out of 50+ RPG programmers. RPG developers are far and away the largest group of System i developers.
RPG developers _might_ be interested in a GUI version of PDM that looks like PDM, is as fast as PDM and maybe is extendable beyond PDM. RPG developers want a GUI editor that's as fast as SEU, as easy to use as SEU and is perhaps extendable beyond SEU. I personally think that Code/400 was closer to that mark than WDSC is, but Code is dead and I have to get over that. I recognise the issues the Lab has had to go through to warp a stream oriented IDE for use with a record oriented platform and I applaud them for their effort.
Yeah, if IBM policymakers let the Lab develop a GUI screen designer that RPG programmers will scream for, I'll pay extra for it. Not when. If.
