I seem to get the impression that isis is preferred in the core. Any
reasons why folks dont prefer to go with ospf?

a bit harder to attack clnp (is-is) than ip (ospf)

is-is a bit simpler to configure, though you can get a sick as you
want.  but don't.

a bit simpler to code, so worked and was stable when ospf was far
flakier than it is now.
