This falls in the realm of a "religious" argument. 25 years ago, I heard the same arguments in IBM. I also remember discussions on:

EDGAR vs. XEDIT
EXEC2 vs. REXX
ISPF vs. CMS
SPF editor vs. XEDIT
right-left scrolling of a window (should the outside frame go right or left or the inside content go right or left)
PFK 4/5 vs. PFK 8/7 (or was it 7/8--no it was 8/7)
the REXX function CENTRE vs CENTER (Mike solved it by giving us both)

I prefer FILELIST to FLIST, because it gives you the full power of XEDIT
(especially MACRO ALL). But I have no experience with FULIST to compare it
to FILELIST. I also prefer XEDIT to BROWSE. Sometimes that means running
in a VERY large virtual machine.
