The moment I graduated and lost access to ArcGIS I got out QGIS and become ridiculously empowered. Yea Arc has Python APIs for some things but QGIS, while rough in the UI department, gives you powerful access to everything. And it plays so well with other things: check out my presentation on using QGIS in robotics (pdf) https://roscon.ros.org/2018/presentations/ROSCon2018_UnleashingGISToolbox.pdf https://roscon.ros.org/2018/presentations/ROSCon2018_Unleash...
- jjwiseman 4y agoThat's a very cool example of somewhat unconventional QGIS use.

- mr337 4y agoI was just thinking the other day of writing a QGIS plugin for handle GNSS data from ROS. Like rviz but more aligned for out application. Very cool!
- Waterluvian 4y agoPRs and maintainers welcome! Regrettably I haven’t worked on it in years. It hasn’t been too important for the direction my job went in. :)
- heavyset_go 4y agoCool presentation, thanks for sharing it.
