Joseph, Yes, but we develop on a zPDT box also. Colesoft is good about negotiating pricing on z/XDC for small shops.
The drastic productivity improvement that occurs when debugging with z/XDC makes the license fee worthwhile. I used TSO TEST to debug for over 12 years, then switched to z/XDC for debugging; it is light-years ahead of TEST. Besides, if you are an independent developer operating as an LLC, you could deduct the annual license fee as a business expense on your tax return.
