I've been using PC based editors since before OS/2 was Warp.  I also had 
a long stint with the mainframe Xedit.  That gives me a somewhat 
different history and viewpoint from many System i programmers.

Like Scott, I feel like the features typically advertised for WDSC don't 
do anything for me.  I had a love affair going with Code/400, and the 
major reason wasn't screen real estate, coloured tokens or matching 
IF...ENDIF.

I'll keep it short because the WDSC list is a better audience, but the 
main things I found valuable in Code were ReXX macros and regular 
expressions.  Eclipse (the base of WDSC) does not have a macro facility, 
but regular expressions are alive and well.
