The Juniper ERX edge routers are what isn't "real" JunOS.
It's as if they were trying to make a clone of the IOS CLI:

That's because Juniper bought the ERX series from Unisphere.
It's not a "real" JunOS.
My suggestion: if you make a lot of changes stay away from
the ERXs, but if you don't do much to them they will mostly
purr along just fine. I was running them fairly hard, with
30K plus ATM/DSL subs per router...
