    QGIS has saved my sanity, i’m really impressed with the rate of development for QGIS as well as the plugins.

      Ever since I picked it up I never had any use for Arcmap. It covers all my needs and it’s free!

    Surprisingly easy to pick up if you know Arc. I can’t switch to it entirely but I’ve made red relief maps in it and I’m really impressed by some features.

    I still don’t know how to tilt the map

  What program is that?

    That’s ArcGIS Desktop. Recently deprecated software (depending on who you ask) that is incredibly powerful, but equally infuriating and awful. Has been supplanted by ArcGIS Pro, which is also powerful and slightly less infuriating and awful, but still very much so.

      Thank you for reminding to me to practice gratitude today- deep and abiding gratitude that I no longer have to use any ArcGIS products to make my living.

      Don’t forget Windows exclusive, pain in the ass. I have to VNC into my laptop.

      Yep, and only costs the paltry sum of $50,000+/yr. for unlimited credits and Plus Pro Max features! Honestly, a steal!

      ^…fuck ESRI…

      What advantages does it have over R’s mapping / GIS suite?

    You looked! So many tiny, unexplained error symbols for you! Your license doesn’t cover that service.

    You were told not to gaze into it!

  After being forced to Pro I would be staring at this with nostalgia and sadness. A decade of work to optimize what I need out of it and I had to start all over with a laggy, crashy POS that constantly forgets my damned pinned tools.

  RIP homie.

  Pro did make my output maps better though, I will say that.

  I just finished moving my company to pro. Everyone hates it. Map series is a nice upgrade fromdata driven pages, though.

  So long old buddy.

    I was supposed to organize the upgrade to pro at my workplace - then I got an offer I couldn’t refuse somewhere else. I feel bad because the guy who replaced me is struggling to get to grips with arcmap, and somehow will need to oversee the transition… I’m using pro at the new place, and while I don’t like a lot of the changes, map series are indeed fantastic. No more changing layouts a dozen times to export new versions of a project!
