The GUI does suck.  However, WSA provides a lot of other capabilities too.
 Such as the ability to use the ISPF editor to edit files on your
workstation or use a workstation editor to edit a data set on the host. You
can also issue workstation commands from your TSO session.  My favorite is
ISPF's FILEXFER service which makes it easy to write Rexx functions to
transfer files between your workstation and the host.  (It's as fast as FTP
but, IMO, is much easier to set up.)
