[Qgis-user] QGIS and ESRI's ArcMAp

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
Hard to answer but I used to be a big MapInfo, AutoCAD Map user.  I usually just use ESRI when other have problems I need to trouble shoot.  Now, i am almost exclusively QGIS.  Like others say, it would be hard to make a list as QGIS aim is not to just do what others do.  It’s not a copy of other softwares.

There are currently two things that I would like to see in QGIS.  The first is a good raster calculator capable of dealing rapidly with HUGE rasters that can’t fit into memory. (I am talking LiDAR huge over large territory.)  (Thankfully, the gdal calculator does it but it was more restrictions (identical size,CRS, pixel posting..). I AM not sure ESRI has a flexible way of doing that.  

ESRI also has the concept of a raster database.  That is not implemented but when you think about it, it’s easy to just keep track of the descriptive values in another table.
