 So do I.  While I don't use it much, especially since I stopped doing 
Windows almost literally overnight, I did find it to be useful at times, 
especially in collaborating with one of my classmates between class sessions. 
 I would like to see an OS/2 version, or, at the very least, a Java version 
usable with OS/2.  What is needed is for all those interested in such a thing 
to contact Mirabilis and let them know that we would like to see an OS/2 
port.  They currently only support the various flavors of Windows, and a Mac 
version is supposed to be coming soon.  I would suggest checking out the 
user's forum under the Java topic and start making some noise (polite noise 
about OS/2).
