Particulary interesting is the running commentary on his experience in using this software. Current ESRI software users that are trying out Manifold will be able to relate to his reaction to using Manifold. [...]

I’ve asked because I never work with arcGIS. I’ve work with MapInfo Professional for 10 years and after that I migrate to Manifold. And in this, the last version of MapInfo that I work with (the 6.5), we have also to import what is from another format.

You can drag&drop any Manifold native file from the Explorer into the Project Pane. You cannot do the same with a SHP file. That it’s normal because you are importing from another format. A question: You can drag&drop to the ArcGIS external format files?

Regards

In the end, though, Manifold does what I need it to do, and for less than $300 I was able to purchase a site license for my entire university! The students I teach don’t have any more difficulty learning the basics of Manifold than they would learning ArcGIS (probably less, in fact).

It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to use an interchange format for storing data. (Arguable for images/surfaces given the n^2 scale).

If you want to know more about Manifold, forum.manifold.net is definitely *the* place to go.

I’m an ESRI user (but no ESRI-lover), and I’ve been very curious about Manifold as a viable option, but the user community in general seems extremely defensive.
