I was talking with a “CAD Operator” the other day and he mentioned to me that he noticed that Shapefiles are the GIS equivalent to the DWG. I explained to him how technically it wasn’t like that, but I guess you’d get that feeling as almost everyone uses the Shapefile in one way other another. Can you imagine though if ESRI users had to put up with this dialog in ArcMap?

I don’t even what to think about it…
