It's only Cisco-ish to someone who doesn't know Cisco.

You use "ip address" at the beginning of the line when you assign an
IPv4 address. The similarity ends there.

It's like saying a Linux or *BSD firewall is Cisco-like because they
both have a command line.

The nsh shell (http://www.nmedia.net/nsh/) is the closest any
open-source project gets, and even then it's only vaguely Cisco-like.
