I have worked with the MS Windows SDK, and I have worked with Borland C++ 2.0
and I have worked with the OS/2 1.1, 1.2 SDK's from MS and IBM. The 
MS & IBM SDK's are similar to the MS Windows SDK, yet a lot more mature
(Windows 3.0 had not been around as long as OS/2 PM). I like Borland C
better than them all, but, personally, I feel the tools for OS/2 are more
mature and lend themselves to a professional programming environment.
You aren't limited to MS or IBM either. Zortech has a C/C++ compiler, Logitech
has a Modula-2 compiler (with a real nifty debugger). There is a Smalltalk
environment which generates .EXE files (uncommon for Smalltalk until recently)
from Digitalk. If you leaf through the trade rags (Computer Language, C Users
Journal, Tech Specialist, etc) you will find A LOT of development tools
for OS/2.
