Regardless of what is in the inital post to this thread, based on the 9.4 b2 help menu and the reply back from the ERSI support people today on my 9.4 Beta 2 comments, it appears that the easy to use and powerful Raster Calculator is now gone from ArcGIS 9.4/10. The response has been very clear that Raster Calculator has been removed from ArcGIS and replaced by Python Map Algebra scripting. This is a major loss in the capabilities of ArcGIS to analyze rasters and perform raster math. What used to take a few minutes with the Raster Calcualtor now will take much longer as people have to try and stumble through the issues associated with Python scripting. I wish ESRI would understand that the vast majority of GIS analysts are not and never will be computer programmers. They are hired to perform spatial analysis and create maps, not write computer code. The disappearance of Raster Calculator in 9.4/10 is a huge loss for us.
