I have tried to use QNX a little on the Icon (Bionic Beaver, Canadian
Educational Microprocessor, CEM machine, or whatever you want to call
it). It may be a very nice operating system, but it's impossible to
use if you are used to UNIX. It's got a lot of commands with names the
same as those on UNIX that behave differently, and a bunch which behave
the same but have different names. Obviously designed for the new user
who isn't coming from a UNIX system.

I haven't used it enough to be able to say whether it works well.
(I gave up in frustration at not being able to talk to what pretended
to be a UNIX[-like] system.)
