We love Eclipse! So do many of our customers and some have already

My issue with most of the Eclipse PDT plug-ins I've seen in RDz is
that they are actually worse than the 3270 user interfaces that they
are attempting to replace.
Agreed - this has been a common thread among IBM-developed "3270
replacement" GUIs. Some were so bad, mainframers were literally laughing
out loud before they'd ever heard the term "LOL."
I've often wondered what the state of the mainframe would be today if
IBM had actually done a halfway decent job developing ISPF
Client/Server, mSys for Setup, and other similar GUI-based initiatives
from the 1990s.
