My experience was that old QNX (the one that was distributed on a floppy) was certainly wanting, however, the newer one, the one whose source was community open during the 90s and part of the 2000s (if I remember well) was pretty solid and standard. I ported a (significant) number of complex packages to it and made distribution packages without any problem. BTW, it was far advanced, making heavy use of Union file systems (sorta like the modern Snaps of Ubuntu) and the development tools were pretty powerful and comfy to use.

Then it switched hands and the source was closed again. Which was a pity. I still cherish my copies of the source.

According to their website, they are in 175 million vehicles (and a 
bunch of other things).
