++ I find things easier to maintain and use if the ISPF applications are packaged and programmed like ISPF applications. That said, there are times where dynamic panels are appropriate. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

As a long time ISPF user and dialog developer, may I just say that I don't like applications that run in ISPF but fake their panel displays, so they don't act like a real ISPF dialog. It is like using an Electron app; it never behaves the same as the real thing. I see this mostly in applications that were originally VTAM apps and later ported to ISPF.
