<p>Good Morning (Greetings from TN) <br>
</p>
<p>It's a really mixed bag as far as capabilities. I say that - I
haven't used ArcGIS now for a bit except at ones client's office.
The big thing you'll notice is it's a different workflow (not
necessarily one being more right over another). So if you try some
workflow you're used to in ArcGIS you might get a bit frustrated -
but I get frustrated now with ArcGIS because of my workflows in
QGIS. <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>In general all the extensions you're used to are already
included. So things like the spatial analyst toolset is there
already. <br>
</li>
<li>Probably the 3D environment in Pro is better (but I've never
opened pro) - but QGIS is gaining momentum. <br>
</li>
<li>I find the community here is more vibrant - you can send
emails on Saturday at noon to the listserve and get an answer.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I think QGIS is more flexible - but probably 8 years ago I
would have argued ArcGIS was. I enjoy this software more now. <br>
</li>
<li>I think the cartography tools are equal and possibly better
than ArcGIS. <br>
</li>
<li>Everyone here is more receptive to suggestions. You can file a
bug report and talk to a person (and not get a 9999 error). <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Give it a shot and start playing with it. Do a small project.
Style it all up - make a PDF. Hopefully you'll like it - possibly
love it.</p>
<p>(look here -> this might help although it refers to an older
version of QGIS - it's still a great read -
