Another sales pich to developpers that must be done is to show them that
developping on VMS is more efficient/less costly.

In the past, this was quite easy because of the great documentation and
system services/RTL that worked exactly as advertised compare to the
ever changing deveopper landscape given by Microsoft.

However, lack of modern IDE and lack of modern tools have eroded this
former advantage.
