CatOS is the best.  I hate that Cisco is going away from.
What are you trying to gain by converting?  With CatOS, you can easily manipulate names, vlans, etc.  IOS on a switch, you have to treat every switch port like a router interface.
e.g.
	conf t
	interface fa2/1
	switchport access vlan 1
	description blabla

OR with Cat os
	set port 2/1 BlaBla
	set vlan 1 2/1

And if you want to do ranges?  Well, without getting into custom groups of interfaces, you have to go into every interface (see above IOS example).  With CatOS?
	set vlan 1 2/1-2/48

now which would you rather do?
