Oh man, I remember using an XEDIT+Rexx email client back in the day on VM/CMS that was mind blowing for its time. The stuff available for Unix and VMS paled in comparison.

But it definitely was the tight integration with XEDIT and the OS that made Rexx so perfect. I don’t think it would work so well for my modern use cases.

I had the same thought. Loved REXX for work on the 3090 I had an account on in college, but haven't really considered it much since.
