Maybe. But all we have here is TSO/ISPF/SDSF along with some CompuWare products (Xpeditor and AbendAid mainly) to help us with development and testing. If "we" could get away with it, we'd likely get rid of ISPF/SDSF (not CompuWare, it is off maintenance and is perm licensed) to reduce costs. We look only at cost. Not value. Not productivity. Cost only. That may loosen up, depending of what SCOTUS says about Obamacare.
