As others have mentioned, it should depend more on your skill set than on
which software you have mastered. If your primary skill set is that you
know MapInfo inside out then you are definately worth less than a "GIS
Analyst", whatever that is. However just because a program is harder to
learn doesn't make it intrinsically more valuable. Think of the early
versions of WordPerfect for Dos or WordStar, powerful, hard to learn,
absolutely useless nowadays. I dream of the day when people say the same
thing of Behemothware like ArcInfo.
