Network Routing without Cisco or Juniper?

It has been a long time since I have seen this thread hashed out, so I figured I'd bring it up publicly. Is anyone comfortable using (in a network with > 5 routers) any non-Cisco or non-Juniper routers for BGP speaking? (Zebra/Gated boxes only count if customer traffic is carried through the device). Historically, some networks have been big fans of Gated boxes and such because they were cheap and scalable to a point. Now many BGP speaking platforms are extremely inexpensive (even from CSCO and JNPR). I was wondering if the consensus has changed. Boxes like Foundry, Extreme, Redback and many others all talk BGP (at least to a first approximation) but is their lack of use in the core/edge/CPE a lack of scale, stability, performance or just interest? Thanks, Deepak
