Personal favorite was OS/2 Warp.

Had Galactic Civilizations, a native Office package, a PCTools analog.

Excellent memory management: once my Word Processor hung, made a pot of coffee, came back to the office, and a dialog had opened asking if I wanted to recover data from a stopped process. Said "Yes," of course. Only lost two sentences

Same! My wife and I were having fun remembering names...
DeScribe for word processing (better than Word & WordPerfect, at the time), GammaTech Utilities (remember PCTools?), and more we can't recall. I even used SeqPup <bioinformatics.org/wiki/SeqPup>, which could run in OS/2 because it could run Java natively.

Good times, lack of driver support finally killed it
