Rocket has indeed ported vim to z/OS; I use it all the time. 

It took a while to getting used to, being unfamiliar with that kind of editor, 
but once I got the terminal file sorted, and the keyboard mappings worked out, 
it's good. The challenge is the extent of what it can do - I've barely 
scratched the surface and I'm sure I could be doing things more efficiently, 
but for what I need it for, it's fine.

I didn't.  I had been using '1G' for decades since I learned it.
Thanks for the hint.

Has Rocket ported Vim to z/OS?

I never learned it.  I have relied on keeping my JCL in here-documents in shell 
scripts and relying on shell facilities for tailoring.  How much am I missing?

The glaring lack in ISPF Edit is Command Substitution such as in vi:
    :r ! TZ=EST5EDT date
    :w ! mutt e...@univie.ac.at

I've occasonaly dabbled in macros for that.  It should be built-in.
