Maybe the fact that EIGRP has an option to turn SPLIT HORIZON on/off is a big clue towards it being a DV protocol. Last time I checked OSPF/ISIS didn't have this option ;-)

It looks pretty distance vector to me though. in what way? the hop count is pretty well hidden in the dark interior of the code. all those cost numbers, the ( also somewhat hidden ) topology table, and the ( somewaht hidden ) successor table certainly give it the appearance of link state.
