Thanks Markus - you beat me to it! :)

Having grown up learning ArcPlot, I long for the ability to compose  
maps and output them in a high-quality plotter-ready format.  Also, I  
miss the ability to script the creation of maps which is needed in  
many industrial or highly-productive mapping environments (e.g. GUI- 
based map design tools are the bane of productivity in many offices  
I've been in).

I'll add my notes to the wiki and start to use the discussion page too.
