I'd have to second Carson's comments. I come from 10 years experience
using ESRI products. When I starting getting into open source GIS just
over a year ago, QGIS was much easier for me than gvSIG or UDig. Now,
I prefer it over ArcMap when dealing with shapefiles.

Hi boesiii,
A client of mine needs softwate to edit shapefiles and was wondering
what's
the easiest and best to use (QGIS, GVSIG, or UDIG)? Basically they
will be
adding points (fire hydrants) and lines (waterlines) and entering
attribute
data.
I have found that QGIS is by far the best desktop GIS for editing
shapefiles. The editing toolbar is simple, intuitive, and has all the
tools you need for standard editing and digitizing. It's also
relatively fast, and stable.
They are on a tight budget, so anything by ESRI is out of the question.
Frankly, the QGIS editing tools are much easier to use than any ESRI
product that I've used (and a whole lot cheaper ;-) )
Cheers,
Carson
