let me put my us 2 cents worth ... for three years i used the ispf
editor on os/390.  and every time i had edited a file, i longed for vi.

editing on a machine (local pc) other than where files were located
(mainframe) was more time consuming, even if i would get to use my 
favourite editor, than using the ispf and cursing it.

just my opinion.
