The reason from my perspective is that it is different than a traditional unix system, and what unix emulation it offers is limited (to put it in perspective, it feels like a bad vim emulation... your native skillset doesn't quite translate). Lots of issues with dealing with data formats (EBCDIC). Access to open source compilers and scripting languages was limited. Granted these were strengths of the platform as well, but it made our workload (maintaining a compiler for the target) harder than other unix-alikes for those of us not fully versed in JCL. |
