This could go back and forth between IOS and JunOS, forever.

My 2 cents: having a fair bit of experience with both OS's - 
JunOS has a lot of flexibility in that you can have 4 or 5 
different ways of achieving the same thing on a Juniper 
router/switch. We have been able to implement features on 
Juniper that were limited by hardware on other platforms 
because of this, even when these capabilities were not 
explicitly built into JunOS as "a feature".

However, all is not lost with IOS; we realize it is only 
truly possible to appreciate JunOS once you've spent some 
time teaching yourself how to use it - having an IOS 
background adds a lot more appreciation as well.

We see both vendors as a compliment to each other in our 
network, rather than all-or-nothing.

We will remain a Cisco and Juniper shop, and will continue 
to capitalize on the strengths of each of them wherever 
appropriate. We know where Cisco are weak... we know where 
Juniper are weak. Then we build the network :-).
