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

      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.

      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.

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

        ^…fuck ESRI…

          The way they handle ArcOnline and licensing (esp. roles) is god damn fucking bullshit and I wish a plague upon the person who thought it up.

        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.

    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.
