I still think that what you learned first and grew up on determines what
editor you like best. I worked with VM for about 15 years at P&H Mining
until they retired VM. I never liked XEDIT as well as ISPF. I know that
some of the best people at P&H liked XEDIT better, but they learned it
before ISPF. I know that there are a few things that XEDIT does that can't
be done in ISPF, but I can't remember what they are now.
Its funny how things work out when you've been away from ISPF for a while.
When I would edit something at Lands End on the mainframe, I would keep
grabbing the mouse and try to scroll forward using the scroll wheel. I wish
I could do that in ISPF. I guess you can if you use the GUI, but I've never
seen that work.

I take it that you've never used XEDIT. ISPF
certainly has a fine collection of tools, but the developers could
make it much better by taking advantage of ideas in the, e.g., VM,
*ix, worlds.
