#2Vector base maps for the entire world - with one click in QGIS - all in vectors for any place you choose.
This practically means printing OpenStreetMap in PDF in vectors - and beautiful native maps for your next GIS project.

#5In case anyone was wondering what the broader appeal here is—the plugin is not specific to MapTiler.
It looks like any Mapbox GL JSON compatible-theme can be used (https://github.com/maptiler/qgis-maptiler-plugin#load-a-map-...), which includes most vector and raster styles from Mapbox, Stadia Maps, Jawg Maps, and many others.
(Disclosure: I cofounded Stadia Maps.)

#6A part of this feature Qgis is a great tool made by people who works on GIS with an involved comunity

#7It's worth noting postgis has exported to mapbox vector tiles for some time (ST_AsMVT). While it's great to have in qgis it's not my pick of the new features (temporal data and new mesh features are)
qGIS has to be one of the standout open source projects these days up there with firefox. Its great to see.

It's pretty conceivable to use ST_AsMVT now in QGIS to power a layer or two. We use QGIS pretty extensively to work with PostGIS tables already, so the ability to see the data in prerender stage (raw geometries) and all the middle and end stages (processed geometries and MVTs) we want is super powerful for anyone wanting to work with vector tiles and PostGIS.

#9Is the only vector tile format supported here Mapbox Vector Tiles? It's a great format, but I'm wondering if there's also support for simple tiled GeoJSON.

#10Didn't it have shapefile support since forever? What's the difference?
