Please stop extrapolating your experience to everyone.  I have used OS/2
Warp for two years and have certainly not had the experience you have
had.  It has installed out of the box for me, certainly in less than the
4 to 6 hours you mention, and has run stable unless I did something to
affect that such as running less than well behaved beta applications.
If Chris wants to try it out, he certainly can.  Just because you
decided on DOS with pictures called Windows 95 doesn't mean everyone has
to follow your choice.
FWIW, Geoworks Ensemble 2.01 runs fine with OS/2, both Warp 3.0 and Warp
4.0.  I can't say about NDO, because I have decided to wait until the
next version with communications is released.
