    Thank you for reminding to me to practice gratitude today- deep and abiding gratitude that I no longer have to use any ArcGIS products to make my living.

    Don’t forget Windows exclusive, pain in the ass. I have to VNC into my laptop.

    Yep, and only costs the paltry sum of $50,000+/yr. for unlimited credits and Plus Pro Max features! Honestly, a steal!

      The way they handle ArcOnline and licensing (esp. roles) is god damn fucking bullshit and I wish a plague upon the person who thought it up.

    What advantages does it have over R’s mapping / GIS suite?

  You looked! So many tiny, unexplained error symbols for you! Your license doesn’t cover that service.
