OS/2 Warp was awesome. The SOM model and the deep object orientation of the desktop would hold up very well even today. Sadly, OS/2 Warp was still 16 bit in important places and had a massive flaw in that it had a single I/O queue that could completely lock out the user ( no keyboard or mouse ) even if the OS was technically still running. I think we are entering an era of several freely available and viable desktops. The pro and con though is they will all be the same from an application perspective since they will all be primarily running POSIX apps ( perhaps with Linux expressions ). Also, while containers are amazing, they kind of tie us down to the Linux kernel ( at least for now ).
