<span style="font-family: 'default'; font-size: 9pt;">Sometime ago,
we were also interested in why are there so many desktop open GIS
packages. So what we did was the following, we created a model project
with several groups of different type layers and recreated it with 10+
packages, opensource, proprietory, even some web-based ones. It is was
quite interesting exercise, where a dozen of people participated and it
was pretty clear in the end where opensource GIS are in comparison with
proprietory and in between themselves.<br>
<br>
Of course this only covers simple project building and does not compare
analysis etc. Moreover, the initial goal of this dataset was not
comparison, but easy start with any common desktop GIS package +
assistance to devs and education purposes, some ability to conclude
which one was better was sort of a side-effect.<br>
<br>
You can check the results here, (originally in Russian):<br>
