This question should be asked about Win95 native apps.  OS/2 has
apps in _every_ major area, you will be hard pressed to find an
area where OS/2 has no native apps.

Many Windows users also use DOS apps too, so why not compare DOS
apps?

Wrong.  Pick any OS/2 app that utilize object technology, Win95
simply won't have apps to compare, since Win95's UI is not object
based.
