You can do things with the vxWorks shell that are just not unix like at all. For example, you can call routines from the shell much like you can call programs from a linux command prompt.

I do this on the unix I support from a utility called crash all the time. Crash provides an interface into either a live system (/dev/kmem) or a memory dump (crash) and lets you do LOTS of stuff that ain't application programming safe!
. You can call routines, change data, whatever you want.
But from an application programming standpoint, the API provided in VxWorks is very unix-like.
I guess what I'm trying to say is don't confuse utilities unique to VxWorks with the environment that the typical team will be using (if using C).
Ditto on training. It would be especially nice if the full analysis tool set was available, possibly at extra, but discounted, cost.
