I've found many of the sun tools to be out of date, and far less functional than their gnu counterparts.
I personally want to use Solaris for its stability. I've found the linux kernel a little immature, and prone to panics, and deadlocks, and random issues, especially when dealing with network protocols/network file systems/raid, and a few other categories. What has historically held me off of Solaris was what I considered a poor userland (and not to mention, package manager), and I'm happy to see Indiana taking steps to fix these categories.
