I've tried all of them back to Code/400. I even tried Bob Cozzi's IDE for a while. The thing I remember most from those early days was needing a better PC to use them. I ran WDSC on a badly underpowered PC. Now PC's can pretty much handle what you throw at them.

Sad but true... :(

So, I need to ask this question:
"IF Rdi was FREE, would you go for a ride?"

I like the idea/fantasy of "lite" version, but that still would not convince a punch-card-Lover to try RDI. The old WDSC was 100% Free, and still NOT many would even try it!
I pray that I am wrong, and that a "lite" version could possible bring newcomers to using/try RDI.
Everyone can get a free trial of RDI FULL VERSION for 60-Days! Awesome!
I need the designers, both screen & reports. I need the iProject and Data Studio. I need more! Not less!
Just another opinion shared among fellow RDI/IBM i enthusiast who have a PASSION for this fabulous IDE!
Go RDI Power!
PS. When I have to discuss some program issues with a fellow developer, I ONLY use RDI.
I refuse to use SEU. My source is defined with a length of 262, which SEU cannot handle it!
So, I am force to use RDI/LPEX, by my choice. Yes, it gets truncated when promoted to production, with the standard size of 112.
