I wanted OS/2 to succeed because it was reasonably fast and stable, and included a very good filesystem (HPFS) compared to FAT. But "users" don't find those features compelling. 32-bit OS/2 was also limited to 512MB, but at the time that was an unattainable ideal for a PC.
I think it would have had a chance if it were easily config'd like the Mac, which was all graphical and simplified. But OS/2 was like DOS, requiring power users to edit config.sys and the like. Windows 95 provided more graphical config options, although in the end if you wanted to run games and the like, you were dealing with the crazy.
