just one person's opinion. customers are definitely moving away from cobol unfortunately.
Its still one of the best languages on the planet from beginners thru expeienced users - the real problem is IBM doesn't market the virtues on cobol since it isn't a multi-platform money maker.

We're .NET mainly. On the Windows side, that is. On the z/OS side, we are almost pure COBOL. At one time, a set of ex-managers were really gung-ho on Java and Linux. But they were replaced by the usual Windows lovers.
