Yeah, that is something that has been bugging me.  No stats on ve
interfaces.

Or how they do vlan configurations.

I have complained about that, too.  With Cisco you add vlans to ports,
with Brocade you add ports to vlans.  Subtle difference. You can't look
at the config and very easily see which vlans are on which ports, you
have to do something like:

show vlan e 1/1/1 

and parse through the output. 

 
Or how a FCX stack will crash when you do jumbo frames.

I have been running jumbo frames with stacked FCX units, no problems so
far.  Running 7.2.00

This is with code 07.2.00aT7f3. Had two units stacked together,
rebooted/power cycled at least once and it worked. Next time we
had to power cycle due to a bad config apply, second unit came
back and as soon it would join the stack, it crashed.

Brocade wanted us to remove it from the stack (remotely) and/or
disabled jumbo frames.
