I think people were looking for specifics about the implementation
deficits in the junos version which caused enough problems to justify
the term "not getting it"?

The only IS-IS implementation we struggle with is Quagga.

For that, we run OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 on Quagga and redistribute that into
the IS-IS core.

Use-case is Anycast (DNS, NTP, TACACS+, e.t.c.) on FreeBSD.

We have a similar use case, and we run BGP on Quagga. Works great.
Haven't seen a need for either IS-IS or OSPF on Quagga yet.

For our core IGP it's IS-IS all the way. We switched from OSPF to
IS-IS more than 10 years ago, and never regretted it.
