I haven't used OS/2 for "real" for the better part of a decade.
I usually keep tabs on OS/2/eCS development though since operating systems is one of my interests and I stumbled across the BlueNexus website. I already had a license for eCS 1.2/2.0 but I found BlueNexus to be so infectiously curious about OS/2 I decided to get a license for eCS 2.1GA.
So now I have a eCS 2.1GA system and I find myself asking:
What applications are current and recommended today?
My usual host of programs on Mac OS X and/or Windows are:
Firefox (check!)
Java (check!)
Flash (?)
Adobe Reader / Preview on OS X (?)
AIR (for Tweetdeck) - I don't know the status of AIR for OS/2 but maybe there is another recommended Twitter client?
LibreOffice (?)
DropBox (?)
uTorrent / Transmission (?)
Evernote (?)
1Password (?)
Winscp / scp (?)
Putty / ZOC (?, maybe ZOC? I used to use ZOC for OS/2 and have a license for it)
Remote Desktop Connection (?)
I used to use these OS/2 programs:
GammaTech Utilities (horribly out of date?)
ZOC (there is an older version available for OS/2, I still use it on OS X)
Object Desktop Professional
Process Commander (not sure if I just remember getting it or actually using it)
SPM/2
Describe (?, word processor, maybe someone remembers if this was the real name)
MR/2 ICE
CDAD/2
PMMail/2
4OS2
Exceed
So, recommendations?
