I disagree with the fundamental idea that everything should be done inside
the IDE... the IDE should be for development (hence the D in IDE),
You must really like that 'D' because you totally missed the 'I' for
"Integrated" :-) Integration is what wins out IMO. Just today I was
compiling a PF and as soon as it took more than five seconds I knew I had it
locked. Being that I was already staring at the existing PF in RSE it would
have been great to right click and select "Work With Locks", but
unfortunately that isn't available in WDSC - but it sure would make my job
easier if it was.
Why shouldn't you be able to do system admin stuff from an IDE if it makes
your life as a programmer easier? What are the features that you want them
to add? (an Outline view the refreshes PF DDS is at the top of my list btw)

but I think the emulator idea itself is outdated. I'd like to see the
day when you can do everything inside the IDE and it doesn't just
emulate a green screen, it replaces it with an entirely new way of
doing things, an interactive gui environment that resembles green
screen about as much as a 747 resembles the Hindenburg,
You already have it. It's iSeries Navigator. I disagree with the
fundamental idea that everything should be done inside the IDE... the IDE
should be for development (hence the D in IDE), and management should be
done in a management application like iNav. For example, you don't
configure your Windows services inside of Visual Studio, and you don't
manage your Unix environment in Netbeans.
IBM wrote iNav a long time ago and we still don't use it. I doubt that IBM
will be rewriting all of iNav to run inside of WDSC anytime soon, and
frankly I hope they don't waste the time. I want more development tools,
not a better way to manage an output queue.
