The intro is the most significant thing, imho, in GRASS, for users with zero GRASSy background. Fully agreed. But given the discussion we'll not change much any more for the final release of 7.0.0. We can give it an extra touch in 7.0.1 for example. So, I would definitely not recommend GRASS GIS 6 to them, for these many reasons: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures Best Markus ___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev

From my experience as a user, G7 has improved dramatically respect to 6, in new functionalities but especially for the capacity of handling large data sets. I agree with the above, G7 is such an improvement in terms of features and general improvements that there is really no reason to stay with G6.
