To summarize:
1. You don't think it's necessary to have editor features like code
completion, refactoring, hover-help, syntax highlighting or static code
analysis.
2. Writing macros is an absolute must even if the editor that you use
provides commands and key mappings so there is no requirement to write
macros.
3. Modern editors and/or the back-end/protocols that they use are stupid
and we should all just stick to Tritus-SPF.
4. If anybody disagrees with any of the above then they are talking
nonsense and nobody on this newsgroup agrees with them?
Is that about right? Please don't bother replying. You always seem to
want to have to last word I am so incredibly bored by it all now. As I
suspect everybody else is.

What seems to you is, as usual, wrong. Meanwhile, you are hypocritically doing
exactly what you accuse me of and not even trying to understand what I and
others have written.

Shrug! I could care less what you think. You're understanding of
mainframe technology seems to be chained to the past. Hence why you take
so many endless trips down memory lane.
BTW, syntax directed editors have been around longer than three decades,
regardless of when you first discovered them.
I don't remember mentioning syntax directed editors? I was talking about
LSP and using a client/server architecture to decouple the editor from
language specific features like
context assist, hover over, auto-completion and advanced static code
analyzers. Any editor that is an LSP client can uses IBM's free COBOL,
PL/1, HLASM language servers. And that is pretty much
every popular editor including Vim (neovim). Zowe has mainframe specific
editors that use LSP. There are also many commercial products coming
online from mainframe vendors that
use LSP. It seems to me that you don't even bother trying to understand
what I'm talking about. You just hit reply and start typing lots of
pompous, ignorant drivel.
