Untrue, actually; as of v.9.3+, you can directly import CF-compliant NetCDF as a raster using the Multidimension Tools. The map projection metadata has to follow CF *stringently* and any numeric values must be double- precision, but it works on 3 out of the 4 map projections used in NARCCAP. (It doesn't like the rotated-pole coordinate system, which isn't really a map projection anyway. We have a bug report in about that, but haven't heard anything from ESRI in a long time.) (I haven't had time to catch up on the rest of the thread yet; apologies if this is redundant information.)
