Experienced OS/2 users will already have much of the utility software found in
the package.  I think that's a given.  There's a reason why I've not made a
move to eCS on my main OS/2 machine -- my Warp 4 box is rock solid stable, and
I've already installed everything that I need on that particular machine.

However, the GUI installation routine in the last version of eCS that I played
with (eCS 1.1) was such a huge improvement over eCS 1.0 or the previous betas
that I was quite impressed, and the fact that it preinstalls a lot of stuff
would save me time were I to have to start over from scratch.

I had two Warp 4 licenses, and I converted one over to eCS to see what the fuss
was all about.  From my perspective, it was worth the cost, if only to see that
I now have a means of reinstalling OS/2 without too much effort should something
catastrophic happen to my existing installation.

It's not a bad OS/2 distribution in spite of the enthusiasm displayed here.
