There is an older graphic out there (will need to find it) but this list
gives a rough idea.
http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html

If the programs are in the same category they may overlap some but
rarely 100%. The categories are a good way to split out how they
potentially work together. The descriptions of each application might
provide you some more insight.

Thanks,
Alex
