Around here we all use: - ISPF for TSO/ISPF - ssh for the z/OS Unix shell - Eclipse for code development (any serious editing); ant+sftp for pushing changed files to z/OS and kicking off "make" via ssh if the TSO OMVS shell were improved, I would consider using it. What I really would like to have is a new port of bash for z/OS (enabled for local spawn, etc).
