do not rely on one software
at least 2 software, and one of them is open source
your life will be save
as I got free license from ITC later this month, arcgis pro still slow as snail, too much license check in here and there, ESRI definitely need to improve performance for this new software
I hope maybe 2 or 3 more major release and it will be ready
and the ribbon menus, yeah definitely remember me of Mapinfo , ahahaha
I dont have much time play with this crap, as I try on the first time and see the sluggishness , I just uninstall it and install ArcGIS Desktop
