Dec 4, 2012 at 20:04 comment added matt wilkie In my opinion the example Q about upside down or vertical orientation of labels is a good question for gis.se. There isn't a definitive answer, but it is certainly a practical problem that you and many others face.

Dec 4, 2012 at 19:35 comment added matt wilkie I restated the title to reflect the central nature of the discussion. "What is the purpose of gis.se?" is much broader than what's taking place.

Nov 23, 2012 at 15:22 comment added whuber Mod I respectfully beg to disagree with the last paragraph. I believe you confuse "flexible" with "subjective". The former means that problems allow different methods of solution, while the latter means that the quality or correctness of the solution lies in the eye of the beholder. Most of GIS is the former, not the latter. Even the cartographic aspect, which appears to be subjective, has been informed by psychological research showing how to make maps that more effectively communicate their makers' intentions.
