Tim GreenliOut of curiosity: for those who do #geospatial #datascience, how common is it to use open-source #GIS software like #QGIS instead of #ArcGIS, etc.

PostholerVery popular.
Plenty of people have no desire to deal with ESRI's ridiculous licensing.
Like QGIS, ESRI's offerings are built on top of open-source, ie, @gdal, @postgis, @postgresql, etc.
Skip the middleman, use and contribute to the sources directly.
@postholer @gdal @postgresql That’s what I’ve been hoping. I try to avoid anything that’s not (fully) open source like the plague 😂
