Good points Stefan and Larry. As you both point out, OpenJUMP's vector editing capabilities are really a strong point. I don't think there is another open source GIS program out there that comes close.
Maybe a short video on vector editing with OpenJUMP would be appropriate for the next release. The brochure is also a good idea. I'm looking at the one for QGIS right now. Perhaps I will put together a video and one or two page brochure on OpenJUMP vector editing for the next release. I will need to coordinate this work with Stefan, so I can make sure I have it done on time.
