Harmon:

I do not see it that way. B&F offers me several desktop services that would
not be available were each of the DOS applications of interest to me running
on their own. It also does a splendid job of managing DOS EMS/XMS, taking
only what it needs to get the job done;

No doubt there are OS/2 utilities around that would allow me to key-switch
among DOS services, but why bother if B&F so ably handle those tasks?
Moreover, B&F offers users a full set of local and global macros, a
trashcan, DOS-level cut and paste and other stuff besides.
