That might have made sense if CMS had full capability to LINK and

MVS volumes, and to FILEDEF data sets via catalog lookup, and to XEDIT

I can only talk about the MVS side of things.
AFAIK the VM version came later and XEDIT was one of the other
fullscreen editors (I think there were 2, but the second name is out
of reach for a minute)
My limited VM knowledge says there was a war between the two and
finally the other one won but then ISPF came along and eventually
eliminated them both.
