To me, the question is: what software is there available
for running on the NeXTstep OS?
If an operating system is to be judged on merits and technical
prowess alone, then perhaps NeXTstep or OS/2 would be king of all PC's--
but without significant native software, what good is the OS (unless
you have highly specialized requirements)?
Yet another reason I find a Mac preferable to OS/2--a Mac
has apps written to run on it (and hey, it can even emulate Windows
fairly well). Sure, I wish it could multitask 1/4 as well as OS/2
can, but at least I don't have to run Windows apps to make my Mac
useful. If I were to be mean, I'd say the Lotus SmartSuite is about
the only reason OS/2 has for living. ;)
I presume NeXTstep has the same problem? What software
is available for it? Perhaps it is useful for persons with highly
specialized needs.
