Solaris sucks now

I used old Sun OS in the past, now I use Solaris at works for test software developement and network driver testing, I saw my colleague using Ubuntu desktop version on his workstation, he is a Solaris driver developer.

I tried Solaris 10 Ldom, compared with VMware, Ldom is a nightmare, it is much harder to configure than VMware, and the network in Ldom is much slower than VMware.

I upgraded Solaris UFS to ZFS file system. I had to learn all the new commands to work on ZFS. I want to switch OpenSolaris to 32 bit mode, but eeprom command does not update grub boot menu file correctly, the system keeps rebooting.

I have a feeling Solaris is being developed under some sloppy engineers, Solaris sucks now.

my web hosting company upgrades their servers lately, they are using Ubuntu on new servers.
