I saw OS/2 in action once for a couple of minutes around the mid-90s on the company laptop (IBM Thinkpad?) of my aunt, who was an insurance agent for the German Allianz insurance company. Being used to the Amiga UI, OS/2 looked incredibly clunky and not much better than Windows 3.1 tbh. I'm kinda glad that it wasn't the future ;)

The Workplace Shell may have been a bit clunky, but under the hood it was pretty neat. Everything was an object that you could manipulate with Rexx (and other languages). In a way, it's what PowerShell eventually grew into.
