I guess I should have tried other WSA facilities, but once I saw the GUI
editor I didn't like it and I never bothered with anything else.
I used to regularly print a page of large font that could be read across
the operations room showing res pack volsers for each LPAR. That data
was gathered in an ISPF application, then sent to my PC and printed
using a TPUT program and bit of a code I added to my terminal emulator.
So basically, I'd press Enter in the ISPF app and out would come a
rexx-generated rtf file on a PC-attached printer. Sounds like I could
have done similar with WSA.

I won’t miss the GUI interface that WSA provides. I will miss the
FILEXFER ISPF service. It makes it easy to incorporate file transfers
into your ISPF dialog applications and to initiate transfers from batch
jobs.

I experimented with WSA back in the day; didn't find it especially
compelling, best I can recall. I've lately been experimenting with the
ISPF plugin for z/OSMF. If you like a more pointy-clicky interface, you
might like it. I presume whatever customization done with WSA would not
apply.
I have a list of things I don't like about the ISPF plugin, but it may
hopefully improve. One thing that is really good is tabbed screens.
Instead of 'SPLIT' (which is still there), you can enter 'START' to get a
new tabbed screen.
