On its face this makes sense.  On the other hand, "move to the web" is not an easy choice for a large business operation because of the relatively short life-span of the web's software.  With a large organization's 10 to 15 year development cycle, moving to the next new best way every 3 or 4 years just not compute.

For instance... jQuery is in decline.  GWT is gone.  Liferay is gone. xml is in the dumper. The mouse is being replaced with finger moves, eye-control is on the horizon.   This is all great stuff and is a vibrant and exciting, but if you're a manager who wants to ship product, bill product, meet payroll, and pay bills then providing video games for the IT Department is way down your to-do list.

That's why I believe there is a strong need for us programmers to figure out what we can do with 5250 to accommodate a new generation of users who will never understand which is the F16 key.   Yes; we can offer check boxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns  without being disloyal to our heritage.

Wanting a reliable double-click is a reasonable expectation.

I think it is better to move to web, rather than improve green screen.
No matter what you do, green screen will look old.
