Mocha TN3270 is not great by any means but it's a good example of what can be done using JavaScript/HTML5. A really good webdev could create an amazing 3270 emulator for the browser. Chrome apps can also run on mobile devices and desktops so are truly cross-platform/device.

Another great chrome app is Secure Shell which is an SSH shell that runs in the browser so you can use tabs https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo?hl=en. 884,439 users is not too bad if they all pay a dollar is it?

Or Mac? Desperately need a good 3270 client with a responsive developer on
Mac. (Current one is Mochasoft TN3270 which leaves quite a bit to be
desired.)

Perhaps Tom could be persuaded to port Vista to Linux :-)
That would be fantastic. I'm one of Toms customers (a very happy one).
It may be worth a try to see how Vista goes with Wine. Same problem
finding a decent 3270 emulator for macOS. If I had a choice of work
machine I would choose a Mac but I need a decent 3270 emulator.

I've used x3270, and I find it functional, but lacking. Both keyboard
remapping and font support are stuck in the 90s.

Doesn't support graphic escape characters, the menus are broken etc,
etc. c3270 isn't much better. But they're free so can't grumble too much.

Two words. Vista TN3270.

There's not much choice on Linux. x3270 is full of bugs and not well
maintained. What we need is more cross-platform browser based 3270
emulators like the Mocha TN3270 chrome app.
