And it looks very dated -- old-style MDI interface and controls, System font everywhere, bare-bones interface... the discussion of "5250 and 3270 host sessions" doesn't exactly speak to its modernity either.

- jrumbut 5y agoThe homepage shows a release from November. Hopefully some current Easel devs chime in. I took a look at the docs, it has an interesting approach to userinterface event handling and there seems to be some special "Screen Scraping" facilities.

Maybe it's just me because I am used to that interface, but it looks much more user-friendly than many of the modern apps I use: 1. I can tell at a glance what is clickable and what is not. 2. I can see the accelerator/shortcut keys for most of the elements. 3. Sections are grouped together, and on a single page. I don't have to click 'Next' to see the next three clickable widgets.
