What's with the constant bad mouthing of EVs that I've been seeing on social media for the last 3 months? They have been on the market for the last decade and there are no unknowns…

I agree to all points. For point 6. Mapbox is a big contender for ESRI's current position. For 8. Openstreetmap, GDAL and associated open source ecosystem offers a solution to prop…
