Actually, I have been using OS/2 1.1 quite a bit, and had good luck with
it so far.  Sidekick is one PM app, but there are others out there.  I
personally do not like Sidekick for PM anyway, but so much for personal
opinions.  

I have been using Excel for PM, and I think it is excellent, possibly even
better than the DOS version, in functionality as well as graphics support.

I recently got Brief for OS/2, and it is also very good.  One of my 
favorite applications is Tickler/2, which as far as I know does not have PM
support, but it will pop up on top of a PM app, and is the best reminder/
calendar program I have seen.  Paradox OS/2 is a favorite as well, but again
not PM yet.  I usually run most apps in a Text window under PM and get
around this anyway.  

There are quite a few nice Public Domain and shareware OS/2 programs 
starting to show up now.

I recently began evaluating a product called ProPascal from Prosper 
Software, and it seems to be well implemented, although I prefer C programs
especially with the OS/2 environment.
