As well as GRASS complements Quantum GIS, SEXTANTE does the same with gvSIG, keeping the specialty. These are the best efforts of collaboration between open source alternatives in the geospatial environment, searching to prevent unnecessary duplication.

A common weakness in specialty GIS programs is its limitation to construct data with the ease that offers CAD-oriented tools. Gradually, the gap is narrowing, although it is questionable whether the GIS has had an improvement in their ability to build or CAD have implemented variants such as Bentley Geospatial Map and AutoCAD Map. gvSIG 1.9 has made almost a ...

The way free tools have matured is interesting, some years ago, talking about free GIS, sounded like UNIX, in a geek voice and with a level of distrust or fear of the unknown.
