In the 90's I worked at some pretty large heterogeneous Unix shops. We had Solaris, HP-UX, DEC Unix, IRIX, and some others. It was a sprawling mess of NFS mounts and NIS authentication ("ypcat passwd", anyone?) I agree with most of what you said, though I preferred Solaris. IRIX on the desktop was pretty fun though! My next job was a pretty big AIX shop. AIX "felt weird", unless you used "smit", which was the TUI you're probably referring to.
In my retro Unix collection, I have a Sparc, Alpha, IRIX, and NeXT box, but they're not all in working order.
