In regard to no RPG enhancements, there has been some. Highlighting a /copy line and having the option to open the source. Converting code to free-format. I don't know how long they've been there. And the latest patch has an update to the outline to show where data structure subfields are used. And I'm sure there's more stuff like that, each one a step forward.

Looking at the /COPY was available (if a bit different) in Code/400.
Same with converting to /free.

My point wasn't that there were NO enhancements; only that there were
precious few when compared to the web world. I'm not criticising the
decision. I'm reporting what my boss can see if he reads the
announcement letters. RPG got very little new stuff in the IDE and the
web got lots.
