Maybe not for the new kids, as it is text based: Have you looked at JED?
It runs on VMS, it has box editing, highlighting and undo. There is an
EDT keypad mode, there is a DCL, Linker options file, MMS/MMK and a VMS
system parameter mode as well as syntax highlighting for Bliss and Macro32.

For the new kids preferring Eclipse, there is a plugin for
DCL/MMS/Linker options file as well.
