Define: High End GIS

Over at All CAD Access Ralph Grabowski notes this list from Evan Yares defining high end CAD.

Among the qualities from the list that perhaps translate over to high end GIS are:

No-holds-barred functionality.
Breadth and depth of applications.
Integration with enterprise applications.
Specialty design tools.
Large/complex-project management tools.
Continuous innovation.
A difficult-to-use user interface.

What else? I'll offer:

CAD integration
Modelling tools
Advanced statistics

What else would you add?

Should APB cover "geo news" from corporate blogs, such as Microsoft's new Food Truck Map?
Yes, that's important to me and I would not find it elsewhere.
No, don't bother. It's not that important and besides, every one else covers it.
Google and Microsoft do geospatial?
