VMS is different from UNIX.

VMS is like a mini-mainframe. You aren't supposed to play with it, you get given specific permissions by some operator, you do as you are told, you don't mess around. And you do things the VMS way. If you want to know the VMS way there are 100ft of grey manuals on the shelf telling you.

Unix has a play with and enjoy the jokes philosophy.

In my experience VMS people hate Unix more than Unix people hate VMS

I remember having to shift those manuals to a skip when we replaced the VAXCluster with SQL 6.5 (bad bad bad decision othe than for electricity usage!)...

I didn't remember much hate between the UNIX/VAX people in my org as they were pooled together. I think everyone agreed that VAX/VMS was superior though when it came to getting stuff done and leaving it done.
