I have not kept up with all of the feature differences between Cisco's
implementation and the other vendors. I can only encourage others
interested in this to compare the specific feature sets between the
two and see if it meets their needs. What I need in an environment
from an IGP may be totally different from another data center,
transport, or transit network provider.

If I were a vendor or one of the other I would likely have a list of
what I do support, or what my competition does not support.
