Good Morning (Greetings from TN)
It's a really mixed bag as far as capabilities. I say that - I haven't
used ArcGIS now for a bit except at ones client's office. The big thing
you'll notice is it's a different workflow (not necessarily one being
more right over another). So if you try some workflow you're used to in
ArcGIS you might get a bit frustrated - but I get frustrated now with
ArcGIS because of my workflows in QGIS.
* In general all the extensions you're used to are already included.
So things like the spatial analyst toolset is there already.
* Probably the 3D environment in Pro is better (but I've never opened
pro) - but QGIS is gaining momentum.
* I find the community here is more vibrant - you can send emails on
Saturday at noon to the listserve and get an answer.
* I think QGIS is more flexible - but probably 8 years ago I would
have argued ArcGIS was. I enjoy this software more now.
* I think the cartography tools are equal and possibly better than
ArcGIS.
* Everyone here is more receptive to suggestions. You can file a bug
report and talk to a person (and not get a 9999 error).
Give it a shot and start playing with it. Do a small project. Style it
all up - make a PDF. Hopefully you'll like it - possibly love it.
(look here -> this might help although it refers to an older version of
QGIS - it's still a great read -

Good morning,
Are there tools and/or capabilities unique to QGIS that are not
available in ArcMap? I’m currently using ArcMap 10.5.1, and recently
installed QGIS.
