[Qgis-user] QGIS and ESRI's ArcMAp

[Kurt Menke]

Hi Scott,
Off the top of my head, these are some features QGIS has that ArcMap
doesn't have:

   - Live layer effects
   - Blending modes
   - Unique renderers for points like point cluster, point displacement &
   heatmap
   - Unique renderers for polygons like inverted polygons & 2.5D
   - Hillshade renderer for elevation data
   - Much better color picker interface with options not available in ArcMap
   - More unique sub-renders which can be used in combination with the
   above: Geometry generators, outline marker line, outline arrow...
   -
   - Styling dock
   - Support for a much wider array of vector and raster file formats (by
   an order of magnitude) including support for PostGIS, SpatiaLite, MSSQL,
   Oracle, DB2, Geonode...
   - QGIS is 64 bit vs 32 bit for ArcMap
   - QGIS has a significantly larger array of expression functions
   available which are available throughout the interface including data
   defined overrides
   - Global, Project and Layer Variables
   - Virtual Layers
   - In Esri speak what basically  amounts to automatic annotation
   - Multiple maps per project file
   - Preview of valid bounds of a CRS
