Just to throw my two cents into this, I've always prefered the printed dump,
from VSE, I could (usually) find the problem....
Once I got stuck into the MVS environment, I have been trying to understand and
use IPCS, and not with too much success...grin....Something just hasn't
'clicked' yet, but I keep searching.....

Where there are perfectly adequate tools available (Abend Aid, Debug Tool, Dump
Master etc) there is also very little incentive to learn IPCS.
To solve application abends (except for the most exotic ones) all you need is a
tool that helps you figure out where the abend occurred and formats the
application's Working Storage areas in a format that is easy to relate to a
compile listing.
