Best summarized by this quote from a coworker: “AIX is what you’d get if aliens implemented a UNIX.”

Utilities exist, but they tend to be different.

There’s also oddities like the compiler (xlC) emitting code that is able to dereference null pointers, with the zero page. It’s a valid but odd choice of undefined behavior. [1]
