I've only briefly used S/360 and/or S/370 (OS/MVT with SPFFY) but I 
remember back in the late '60s hearing people complaining about the 
inflexibility of S/360s running under DOS or OS/MFT because of the 
requirement to link-edit programs for the memory partition they ran in.  

IIRC DOS soon vanished, and was anyway only used on the smallest systems 
(360/30 and the like) and by 1970 I think all the bigger ones were on OS/
MVT, which worked as you describe.

I didn't like SPFFY at all, but still have a quite a soft spot for 
OS/400, which I used on AS/400 boxes. It was remarkably bug-free and CL, 
its command language, was very regular and easy to use. The only drawback 
on these systems was the ugly block-mode text editor and IBM's odd 
insistence on using RPG3 - switch to PL/1 or COBOL and life was a lot 
better.
