Yes, and you can write macros for it. Still, when you have ISPF available
there's little call to use TSO EDIT.
Isn't writing code macros a bit dated? In Vim I can record macros.

That's probably true, but around 2005 when I didn't have enough z/OS
work to do, I moved about half my time over to the dark side of AIX,
Linux, and at least a couple of other Unixes that I can't remember -
working with a bunch of folks who never touched a mainframe. I don't
remember a single complaint about vi from them. I did ask why (in the
world) they used it, and they said because it's always available by
default - no install needed.
TSO "EDIT" is always available on z/OS... Doesn't even require a 3270!
