What sort of interface changes can be expected in version 7?

Some IT-people (former users?) in our Institute wonder when SAS is finally going to do away with the Program Editor window and code writing and replace this with pull-down menus. They tend to ridicule SAS for not having a real graphical interface ....

I don't quite understand how they envisage to do all those different DATA steps that I usually need to get data into shape for a PROC step with pull-down menus.

But I may be all wrong of course. Perhaps some people enjoy doing their FORTRAN coding through pull-down menus, too.
