What a weird idea that there is any sort of rivalry between two data types used in the same science. I have a hard time believing that any geospatial science professor is in a war over this. Analogously this would be like two carpenters having a war over saws vs hammers. They are both indispensable tools in carpentry. Sometimes you saw something and then use a hammer on the next step, sometimes you hammer something and saw something next. It’s… You use both. You’ll always use both.
All is fair in love and war. (See body for part 2) (mander.xyz)
