* Developers: These group would take advantage of the FOSS license, you can do copy/paste between projects source code and depending which tool is their favorite, they will copy whatever functionality they find in the other tool that may benefit their own code. Cheers to that.* Trainers: Will want to show how you can use different tools to achieve the same goals or to mix tools to achieve a complex task.* core users: These are those that gis is their main work, They will learn multiple tools and use them accordingly to their current task.* casual users: In this category you have people that do not need to use the tool daily but once in a while or may be once to do part of their job. These users would want to use the tool with the shallowest learning curve and simplest UI.So I see four types of audience:It is true that FOSS means that you can test different software without expending money. But regardless if the software is free or not, the time that takes to learn a tool and its capabilities cost time and time is money.I noticed that the comparison is dated (Aug 2011), since then Qgis has changed a lot.Hi Rahul,Thanks for the reply.From my point of view, qGis has a nice UI, it has some good tutorials online and some books that will teach anyone not only how to use the tool but also some background on GIS. Packtpub has a large collection on books for GIS.Regards,MeirOn Tue, 17 Jan 2017 at 07:17 rahul kumar rai <rahulkumar.rai@research.iiit.ac.in > wrote:Hi,

Hi Mario,
Impressive piece of software. I have been playing with Qgis and for what I see it is quite similar. How would you compare both?
Are you attending the conference in Hyderabad?
Regards,
Meir

Hi Arun,
here you have several workshops/webinars in English about gvSIG, an open source GIS, that can be interesting for you:

They are not specified for remote sensing tools, but they can help you to start.
Then, if you access to the Tools->Geoprocessing->Toolbox menu from a View, you can find more than 200 geoprocessing tools, including several ones for remote sensing.
You can download the application from http://www.gvsig.com/en/products/gvsig-desktop/ downloads
Best regards,

I'm just a GIS enthusiast with basic knowledge about remote sensing and GIS. Can you suggest the workshops suitable for me?
Thank you
