[postgis-users] Re: PostGIS inquiries

[Paul Ramsey]

If you are just reading from shape, there is really no reason to get 
into the FME. It is when you have to read from something unstructured 
(like a CAD file or IGDS file) and structure it before writing it that 
FME really comes into its own. Also for writing *out* to the multitude 
of FME supported formats. So, not a tool for basic stuff, but incredibly 
powerful. If you deal with alot of formats in your job, it is money well 
spent.
