I do of course agree that z/OS is perceived to be boring, but that is

I don't think it's perceived as boring, certainly it's perceived as user
hostile. Take Pauls cp command example, it's easy to copy files
using a simple command. For those that prefer GUIs they can drag and drop or
copy/paste. On the mainframe one has no choice but
to run JCL. JCL certainly is an antique, and a very unpleasant one.
Actually, in a TSO session (analogous to a UNIX session),
you can use the SMCOPY command without JCL. It's just
that most people aren't aware of it.
