I was agreeing. :)
Seriously, after teaching introductory AIX Admin for 10 years, I'd
call that the most common AIX showstopper. A LOT of UNIX people just
can't handle dtterm running on Some Other System.
The flipside is that with all its weirdness, AIX is the most
intuitive UNIX(tm) out there. Once you wrap your head around ODM and
the management tools' syntax, 2 seconds thought will get you to the man
page for a tool you need and never saw before, and 2 minutes in the man
page will get you running. "mk<mumble>", "ch<mumble>",
"rm<mumble>",
"ls<mumble>", all with consistent syntax.
Pretty good for an x86 fanboy, huh? :)

I think that was basically my point.
There are things I like about AIX, but I have a hard time considering
it to be UNIX, and *I DO NOT LIKE* IBM's attitude towards support of
tape drives.
First rule of administering AIX:
This Is Not UNIX. Deal with it.
