I know this is a meme but it is free and opensource software. Can we please be kind to the people that work to make your life easier.

    QGIS is great, but the real power horse is GDAL.

    I read the post before the title and was prepared to come at you. QGIS doesn't get enough love for how good it actually is.

    Having started with OpenJUMP, I assure you that there are deeper depths to be explored.

    I just started using it recently. It is not the most intuitive thing, but I don't see how it could possibly garner such ire.

    When people have to use something everyday for work, they become acutely aware of every one of its shortcomings and the reasons behind them. When they realize that it could be better but isn't because of a bullshit reason and, on top of that, there's no better alternative, this creates resentment. Because then your survival depends on you putting up with unnecessary BS.

    I actuallt have very little criticism of Arcgis Pro these days. Arcmap sucked ass though, and their apps and arcgis online still does.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is QGIS?
