It isn't; it's just the vi[1] of the MVS world. The MVS world has at
least two editors with important capabilities that ISPF lacks:
SuperWylbur® and XEDIT. Of course, each of those is missing something
that ISPF has.
[1] A bit harsh; I'm not saying that ISPF is as bad[2] as vi, just
that its claim to fame is omnipresence rather than capability.
[2] The vi fans will no doubt challenge that, but I stand by it.
