Exactly! The Linux clean slate approach is great if you are new, but a pain if you have legacy stuff to support. I think that's why a lot of new users/admins prefer Linux. I often hear "why does Solaris have 3 versions of such and such command?".

Certainly as an interactive shell I use bash all of the time, but we've not had 
our product break on Solaris, and I quite like it that way.
