You can use the files, data sets, and jobs services in Zowe without z/OSMF

I don't think so. There's nothing wrong the the z/OSMF APIs it's the UI
that people don't like.
We've got a new product with a REST API that's basically a JAX-RS Java
servlet calling JNI code. Doe's this new open mainframe
initiative mean we can deploy our servlet into z/OSMF or the explorer
server shipped with Zowe? I suppose that's a question
better asked on the Slack channel.

I think it is worthwhile. I can understand why you are dubious WRT
previous experiences with z/OSMF but Zowe looks different. It's using
cutting edge JavaScript frameworks like Angular for the UI which comes from
Google. They have
embraced open source and I've checked out the github repo and it looks
good. Let's face it, recreating ISPF using HTML was a bad idea! But this is
hopefully a new direction. I'm still confused what is
free and what you have to pay for. the zLUX UI has a 3270 emulator but it
appears that you need a library from Rocket which I assume comes from their
3270 emulation suite (commerical).
Vendors don't want to give away money spinning products do they? Most of
us will stick to our emulator of choice anyway.

Tried to look at it from the office and our firewall blocks it ☹
I did read up on it and my 1st impressions are that it is yet another
attempt to create a new system management interface utilizing z/OSMF and
provide the tools/parts for anyone to build them. Is this worthwhile - I'm
not sure yet. Replacing a sub-second response interface using TN3270 with a
multi-second web interface (based on experience using z/OSMF ISPF option)
does not seem like a step in the right direction.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Zowe install woes
Lots of buzz about Zowe [1] at SHARE this week and first impressions are
overwhelmingly positive. It looks like a great initiative to modernize the
mainframe without tubby Eclipse. We downloaded the beta but it was missing
parts, most importantly installation scripts so it's a bit of a anti-climax.
Has anybody
managed to install Zowe successfully?
