My clients pay for a product.  That is pretty true for anyone working in
the private sector.  Analysis is necessary, but if I can't turn out a
product then I don't have a job.  What's more, if I have to use some
other tool to produce the final product, then I may as well use some
other tool to perform the analysis.

I've been studying GIS for about 15 years.  Aside from a few publicly
supported projects like GRASS, every GIS I know of places considerable
emphasis on presentation.
