Yes, nice comparison. Thanks Nathan for giving us this!

As a former MapInfo consultant, I can say that there is one more thing
qGIS lacks, well, not qGIS in particular but OGR: arcs. Besides that
it is a myth that mapinfo uses the same sql across all tables. You
simply have to convert every table to mapinfo's own file format in
order to work with it.

Performance is a minor issue in my opinion; if everything is a
shapefile, qGIS is almost as fast as MapInfo. MapInfo is particulary
malperforming with wms layers, wfs layers are almost impossible.
