IMO, there are two sides to z/OS Unix adoption story: 1) I think that z/OS Unix literacy amongst z/OS sysprogs is actually improving. Between 06 and 08 we taught a SHARE lab "z/OS Tomcat in an hour" and there was a big improvement in the attendees' comfort with z/OS Unix in that time.
2) Adoption of z/OS Unix by non-z/OS users is another story. Although z/OS does a good job of conforming to POSIX standards, it is weak compared to other Unix systems in that common open source tools are not available, and porting is often difficult.
