#START SHORT RANT
Why is it that ESRI chooses to not port certain existing functionality from earlier version of their software to newer versions?
Spatial Analyst/Grid Examples:
--------------------------------------
1. dot notation
2. docell
3. ability to run concurrent SA processes
Why not, as a first priority, port all the existing functionality, concentrate on making it better/faster, and then come up with new additional tools/functionality as a second priority???
From a user's point of view, it is very frustrating having to submit an "enhancement request" for functionality that had existed for decades, but then mysteriously disappears... Yarr!
