Not as good as QEMU, but worth it to try. I heard it runs IBM OS/2 really well.

Different use cases than QEMU, honestly, to the point that there's not much overlap. QEMU is extremely good at running modern operating systems, and not so much at older ones (DOS and Win9x are pretty sore points in QEMU). 86Box is extremely good at running old operating systems (including DOS and Win9x!), but modern operating systems are mostly out of the question (you can run WinXP, but https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/faq.html#can-i-...).

What's missing in qemu for running old OS'?

It's amazing how far this emulator has come over the past few years. It runs so well on my Mac Mini M4 Pro system that it has effectively replaced my real 500 MHz Celeron rig for all but the most demanding activities.
