What a weird idea that there is any sort of rivalry between two data types used in the same science. I have a hard time believing that any geospatial science professor is in a war over this. Analogously this would be like two carpenters having a war over saws vs hammers. They are both indispensable tools in carpentry. Sometimes you saw something and then use a hammer on the next step, sometimes you hammer something and saw something next. It's... You use both. You'll always use both.

Great advertising though. Everyone that reads the letters will learn their names.

But someone making about as many spelling mistakes as there are words in the post should be the first red flag. This reads like someone who slept through an intro to GIS course, or someone who hates ESRI (based?) and wanted to simultaneously send their entire board of directors into seizures.

Anyway, QGIS gang 😎
