I had a job at a place in college, back 1997–2000, that was run by a big DEC Alpha server running VMS. VMS was dying then.

I was just a lowly kid programmer working on a side project, so I can't tell you whether it's still uniquely good at something to justify its usage today. It worked. But it was weird and arcane (not that Unix isn't, but Unix won) and using it today for a new project would come with a lot of friction.
