In what way did it "not work"?
Unless you meant OS/2? My understanding is the original intent there was very much to make everything an object,and the UI fully composable based on that ( in the sense of being able to link things together semi-arbitrarily, like pipes, only they never got that far )
But that's based on a half remembered article from years ago, I may have that completely wrong.
Agree with the other post that PowerShell's object view of the environment is pretty nice - not always a panacea of course, but mostly highly functional and productive
