I basically agree that PDM is fine. I use it a lot - and I have come to 
appreciate the flexibility I have in WDSC/RDi to have lots of members 
open in a larger project, especially when using a SCM to manage it all.

I know of a company using the TAATOOLS source control commands and doing 
just fine - all that is done on the green screen. It's not a full-blown 
SCM app, seems to be mostly checkout-checkin kind of stuff. It's enough 
for them now. They can always use the graphical IDE if they want but 
it's not integrated into WDSC.

I'm not ready to buy into the "it's new so it's best" concept. There is 
still enough I can't do easily in WDSC that I go to PDM to do that kind 
of work. Both tools are useful. SEU is still a very capable and powerful 
editor - once you try F1 in the sequence number column and really learn 
what you can do!! Of course, I do find myself forgetting where I am and 
hitting the mouse wheel to scroll through source in SEU after working in 
WDSC.  :-)
