For serious though "I can do this crazy shit" is never really a positive point for a protocol.
My usual argument against ospf in favour of Isis is that ospf is just a toolbox full of features people can use to make terrible design decisions with.
I honestly think the most long term benefit in brought to any network I worked on is migrating away from ospf so that my successors couldn't repeat the mistakes of my predecessors.
Most if my top networking rules would be all around the central theme of reducing complexity, using fewer features and where possible just removing protocols all together.

I would argue that IS-IS also separates the men from the boys, is an open standard, and also happens to be protocol-neutral.
I have my own opinions about IGPs, of course, but I agree with Alex on this one...nobody asked for my opinion on using EIGRP, so I'll save it until they do. :)

BGP.
Yes, it *is* as good running as an IGP as it is as an EGP. And separates the men from the boys, so to speak.

If you want good support from any software, you should not use "proprietary" protocols and use something supported by more than one or 2 vendor. Another option, use it and buy expensive software from that vendor.

Also Cisco released basic EIGRP functionality for other vendors to implement in a RFC. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/ios-nx-os-software/enhanced...
So the real question is not “why?” but “is this supported in Observium?”.. and the real answer is “no”.

HuH,
The real question is Why ? Ospf can be used with all vendor, eigrp .. not compatible unless you have a cisco network and other clone equipment. Ospf is widely supported and even with software like Observium. You can expect to have bad or no support using EIGRP
