Great article Seth. This exactly mirrors some of the observations, frustrations, and discoveries I went through when I was in school for GIS. Fortunately, there was a number of educators in my program who had "seen the light" and either taught open source tools alongside the expensive, proprietary "industry preferred" versions, or left assignments open enough that they were evaluated completely on the final product instead of whether rote steps were followed in a preferred tool. I'm grateful for them, and I wish more disciplines offered the opportunity for software choice in educational settings.
Thanks, I'll check it out and if it's a good fit I might include it in next month's tutorial roundup.
