I agree, but how many programs are available for OS/2?  Think of
all the programs you use in a day, and how many are available for
OS/2?  (Yes, OS/2 can run it's own stuff, plus DOS, and Windows 3.1,
but not 95!)
The number one concern is choosing the application you need to get
the job done.  Then tied for second place is the platform (PC/Mac)
and the operating system required.

Let's say you're going to create a high-end application.  Developing
this application will cost you 5 million dollars.  Which platform
are you going to write it for in order to get your investment back
from quantity of sales?
It's the law of economics.
