That's the problem - as a propellorhead I don't make the purchasing decisions. I can recommend products but low cost speaks more loudly than "this gear is a dog to work with". I don't really believe that manufacturers make crippleware user interfaces for thier products to encourage people to bu

I may have a different opinion here, but I not sure I'd call any CLI easy to work with. Cisco's training machine is so efficient that some learn IOS before leaving high school, so the fact that we all consider IOS easy to work with is relative. Just look at the "router" command. Most of us know
