My experience was that old QNX (the one that was distributed on a floppy) was certainly
wanting, however, the newer one, the one whose source was community open during the 90s
and part of the 2000s (if I remember well) was pretty solid and standard. I ported a
(significant) number of complex packages to it and made distribution packages without any
problem. BTW, it was far advanced, making heavy use of Union file systems (sorta like the
modern Snaps of Ubuntu) and the development tools were pretty powerful and comfy to use.
Then it switched hands and the source was closed again. Which was a pity. I still cherish
my copies of the source.
