A bunch of our civil engs happily use qGIS.

I've noticed Ala lot of the features on ArcGIS actually originate from qGIS after having built some mapping tools.

Ah, I didn't know that about ArcGIS!

Still, the others are arguably more important to the civil industry as a whole. I personally don't believe Autodesk or Bentley will ever support Linux, so us civil folks are stuck.
