I find juniper's config mode and config file structure rather beautiful. As for their cli syntax, I don't actually see it as very different from cisco's.
if you want to clear arp cache, it makes sense that that's the actual command. no sane company would have "please make forgettings
but anyway, did cisco really invent this cli syntax type? there's the Unix way of "command -x=1 -y=2 object" and there's the OpenVMS way of "command specifier anotherspecifier object". I don't think cisco can ever claim to have invented this non-unixlike cli.
i've never worked with anything older than openvms, so it's possible there's even more prior art.
