Modern GIS for the lazy professional

Just drag and drop shapefiles / other geodata
Great library that remembers where all those files are and keeps them accessible & searchable
Quickly combine a couple shapefiles to one table/layer
Nice attribute editor
Quality measures for your data
Quick search of data portals etc

Some features I've wanted:

[ ] Click and drag to select, delete objects
[ ] Quickly take the intersection of two datasets (eg everything from layer A that is inside shape B -- like all the shapes in Detroit)
[ ] Quickly remove columns from a dataset (takes like 20 clicks and a lot of waiting in QGIS, or unnecessary import/export + arcane ogr2ogr commands in Postges)
[ ] Easy way to go back to a previous version of my data (or at least save a copy of the original)
[ ] Easily measure area (QGIS: select layer, open attribute table, open calculator, new virtual column, $area formula)

Get lat-lng at a point (similar to how hovering over a cel in Excel gets you the point)
