its good for teaching, otherwise it may be super clumsy with large layers and this is unsolvable in the near future. ref. ticket.

even so, we must admit, is still the most comprehensive opensource something to compete with esri.

So weird to see this comment. QGIS powering government GIS groups and used by major geoscience and mining companies.. working with national sized vector and raster data.

Have you tried loading 500k features into QGIS? Well, try it and we talk again.

Govs used QGIS as alternative to pricey ESRI subscriptions, but come to realize that it is struggling even as a viewer. Happily latest versions allow simplification of features on the server side, but these are very new QGISs
