The biggest advantage of OS/2 over Win3 (as reported from those
I know who have made the switch) is a virtual end to reboots
due to crashes.  Surely robustness is a good reason to switch.
These users thought so.
 
I would guess that performance is a minor issue, although
multi-threading will result in snappier response, which
encourages a user to make what-if queries more frequently.
