I hate to agree in public, but I'm forced to.  Virtually every iSeries
programmer is automatically a 'hard core green screen addict' since they
overwhelmingly use SEU/PDM for all their coding needs.  An extremely
unscientific survey of those I've met in the past ten years tells me that
virtually nobody uses the SEU command line, and line commands outside of
C/D/B/A are exotic.

The point being that SEU users are very (no, extremely!) comfortable with
SIMPLE and PRIMITIVE.  If they wanted more features, they'd read the help on
SEU and use what limited function it has.  My logic may be flawed, of
course.  I don't personally think there's anything that can be done to
entice programmers comfortable with SEU over to a GUI editor, speed
included.
