Perhaps IBM is really wanting to push WSED (WebSphere Studio Enterprise
Developer)? I don't know much about it, but it appears to be some sort
of Microsoft Windows based GUI development that interfaces with some
WebSphere thingie on z/OS. This may explain the demise of the ISPF GUI.
WSED cannot be considered a general TSO/ISPF replacement.
More to the point, you're giving IBM waaay too much credit here. When
TSO/E development was unstaffed, nobody had even heard of Java or
Websphere. Heck, they hadn't even heard of the Web!
If anything, maybe someone thought that the shell environment for z/OS
UNIX (back then called MVS Open Edition) would be a viable replacement.
In some ways it is.
