Stuff I'd like to see:

An industrial strength, all OS/2 producitivity suite (that's not hung in
endless beta ala Smart Suite/2 and Star Office)

A good drawing package ala Adobe Illustrator

Desktop publishing

Some multimedia apps -- encyclopedia, games, dictionary.  Take a look at the
stuff available for 3.1 and Win 95 and you'll see what I mean.  It would be
great to have a few really nice children's games in the line of Broderbund's
stuff

A good HTML authoring tool with Java/Netscape enhancements

A mapping program (roadmaps, geography, etc)

Stuff that will help Win 3.1 multimedia apps work better (Myst, for example)

Just a few off the top of my head.  I'll post more if I think of them.
