What to port to OS/2?

The topic of porting (import) was discussed since 2008, 2010. 1) It's clear that OS/2 receives new software thanks to porting of linux software. 2) YES, we need libraries (dlls), VIO (text mode) applications = engines, code with complex algorithms inside. 3) NO, it's necessary prohibit porting of large ready-for-use apps which This medium size and large apps are debugged, powerful and easily kill our OS/2 native, shareware apps (= kill OS/2 developers).

Zero reaction

Many developers of OS/2 applications were working several monthes on a project, but get 0 feedback, 0 reaction.

1) The age of OS/2 users is high, they are watching but don't spend efforts to "send likes" to every project. 2) In current situation, it's necessary create products for 100% of the users, don't make special products.
