This thread sounds like a bunch of old people (guys mostly) complaining about how great things were when we were young. IBM had to do something to make z/OS viable to corporate America and the fact that most of us will be retired or dead in a decade. The Chinese mention about where z/OSMF was developed isn’t even remotely relevant. The Chinese are pretty smart people. Smarter than most Americans. Just look at the roster of doctors at the Cleveland/Mayo clinics or the c-suite of corporations the world over, including the US. Progress marches on regardless of whether we like it or not.
