Nobody really needs a 2D projection of the world anymore - we’re all packing superior 3D renderers in our pockets. It’s just hard to break old habits.

I for one would like to look at a simple 2d map instead of having to scroll around frantically just to compare two countries.

This comment is just arrogant enough to sound enlightened and so absurd that it's rage bait for anyone that has done any actual work in the field. Perfect trolling my friend. Chef's kiss.
