Oh, come on. IS-IS is much better than OSPF. It's protocol can be
extended using new TLV values (as it was extended to do IPv4 routing).
With IS-IS it would be much easier to deploy IPv6 or any other protocol
like label distribution in MPLS. But you are right, more simple protocol
wins even though it will make your live harder later.
