Yes, nice comparison. Thanks Nathan for giving us this! As a former MapInfo consultant, I can say that there is one more thing qGIS lacks, well, not qGIS in particular but OGR: arcs. Besides that it is a myth that mapinfo uses the same sql across all tables. You simply have to convert every table to mapinfo's own file format in order to work with it.
Performance is a minor issue in my opinion; if everything is a shapefile, qGIS is almost as fast as MapInfo. MapInfo is particulary malperforming with wms layers, wfs layers are almost impossible. 2010/12/7 Giovanni Manghi <[email protected]>: > http://woostuff.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/mapinfo-and-qgis-an-overview/ > > > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
