Agree. They post like this periodically.
It does however, perhaps conveniently, ignore the complexity of the COBOL runtime environments like VRX, CICS etc from mainframe days. One think I like about GNU COBOL is it transpires to C and then compiles that. So you can run in most of the modern nix environments.
