How good is Apollo UNIX?

We have a DN3000 running DomainOS SR10 (4bsd flavor).  Some things are still
unlike Unix (e.g., you create accounts through Apollos registries), but
there's no longer a /com directory of Aegis programs (yay!), but there is
a new /usr/apollo directory (boo!) where programs like rbak live, but it's
got a lot less than the SR9.x /com directory contained.

SR10 feels more like real Unix, but apollos are still apollos, and do certain
things differently, some better than Unix, some not.
