For those still using Manifold and wondering about its future in 2013 it is interesting to note that the GIS department of the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) places Manifold GIS at the bottom of its list of “other GIS software, now deceased”!

I run a custom mapmaking business using Manifold and another "dead" application, Adobe FreeHand. If the "live" industry standards, Arc and Illustrator, could be brought to the same level of efficiency and practicality, I'd switch over. But no – they haven't, and I won't. Long live dead software!

It such a shame. Manifold was a very economical tool that can do a lot and had a great deal of potential. With some more speed and additional cartography tools it could compete very effectively.
