When was the last time you ran into a younger neteng designing his topology who went "Yes! IS-IS!"? It works fine (very well in fact) but it's just less used.
Which makes no sense to me. I originally looked at both and thought OSPF to be inferior to IS-IS. That being said, OSPF is supported on more (and cheaper) hardware. IS-IS can have additional licensing with some hardware (where OSPF does not) and is often considered a "service provider" protocol by vendors. Jack
