Manifold vs. ESRI… thats another story.
But I don’t think the comparison from the last post
that mentioned to look at
http://www.manifold.net/news/posting1.html
cannot be taken from the perspective as a truly
‘experienced’ GIS user. I know the individual who
posted this, working in Southern Ontario and he
graduated from GIS College only in 2001.
Not taking away anything from his post… I just don’t
want people thinking this is a senior member of a GIS
team making corporate wide decisions. However, I’m
sure it will be argued that experience on the ground
floor of GIS does count as well.
In my opinion, you get what you pay for. That’s my
two cents.

>You might consider cc'ing your posting on Manifold-L,
the dedicated list for Manifold users operated by
directionsmag.com. See
http://www.manifold.net/resources/listguide.html for a
guide to using Manifold-L. Many users on Manifold-L
have experience with ESRI products and could give you
a good comparison, for example, like the one taken
from the list and posted at
