Most stable depends on used hardware. 

I think that OS/2 2.11 with latest fixpak is really "most stable" and
usable for native OS/2 development using OpenWatcom C/C++ 1.8 (V 1.9 is
far away from stable or reliable) or EMX 0.9d / GCC. 
For WPS-Development IBM VisualAge C++ will do a better job. Borland C++
has some good tools - especially the Resource Editor.

All this will run fine in a virtual machine (Virtual PC).

Andreas
