OS/2 has some significant problems, though.  (All of the below relate
to my experience on cutter-john.  As the code stops being beta, these
problems may go away.)

* It's Too Damn Slow.
* The shell is too much like dos (i.e., useless)
* PM is ugly (I know, barr3y, you're working on a native-mode X
server)
* OS/2 lacks any real multi-user capability
* OS/2 doesn't have AFS native :-)
