gis tools are -ok-, i'm not sure what the alternative could be. a less hostile ui would devalue gis techs as mentioned already lol. depends what you need it for, idk most of my time is wasted kludging data for preparation. in the "i'm not paying 15 thousand dollars for loving software" open sores arena, Mapbox/tilemill (+mapnik) and Leaflet.js are alright for dicking around if the underlying technologies aren't triggering to you. openlayers is ok if you're willing to wade through poo poo. qgis is painful but serviceable.

most of my last gis job (i was there for 7 years) was creating configuration files for our internal tools, building ETL jobs in FME, writing documentation, and dealing with india. people who looked at my resume were all "hmm i don't see much gis experience here". it was v. frustrating and as much as i like maps and it being the family business going back 3 generations and all, i'm glad i'm in a different field now.

hmm. i'll have to trial it and virtualize winders, only a few of esris products work on *nix/mac. my comfort with bad tools must be stockholm syndrome.

I ran into pretty much the exact same problem. worked for years building in house gis tech, including a pretty darn good in-house web map client (before the current open source stuff was worth a drat), building custom map servers, lots of raster/vector/postgis janitoring, and so on but my resume didn't say "ArcGIS" so nobody gave a drat.
