Um - we have one - it is called VisualAge for RPG.  Admittedly it does not
replicate the database functionality, but ....

I must admit I find the fascination with MI hard to understand.  We all
"own" the C compiler now (C++ too for that matter) - the majority of the
useful MI functions are surfaced in the C library and in many cases will
outperform the "native" (not that there is such a thing) MI anyway.

Just what is it that can be done so much better in MI that makes it worth
dealing with the absence of tools, documentation, syntax checkers, debuggers
.....
