I haven't had a whole lot of AIX/RT experience.  My brief experience with
led me to conclude that the latest (2.2.1) wasn't too bad, although it
still gave you this weird feeling of coming out of an entirely different
"culture", although it had now seemed to have completed "UNIX as a 2nd
language." :-)

AOS on the RT is fantastic, as has been said here again and again, and
would be unbeatable if the High C compiler could be shaken out a few
times more.  AOS really shows off the machine well.  I prefer it to
a Sun 3 or MicroVAX II development environment.
