Hmm... I would hate to have to scroll 32K to the right... I definitely prefer 72 columns in 400+ lines to 32k columns in 1 line - --
I agree, it is nice to have all the data accessible such that only vertical scrolling is required. But what if you coded one of those lines wrong and had to shift data by one byte? Have fun re-wrapping all the subsequent lines.
This just shows how decrepit and obsolete the ISPF/TSO approach to user interaction has become. While IBM still ships software that is 'punch-card-focused', every other platform in the computing world and their text editors can automagically shift that data easily.
Why are we still computing like we did in the 1970s?

A: None.� A proletarian lightbulb contains the seeds of its own revolution.
