QGIS is great, but the real power horse is GDAL.

I use rgdal in R to avoid doing statistics with QGIS. But for thematic maps I find it very useful. And for nicer looking legends on maps I use Inkscape.

The true power of open source for me is, that you use many programs together to achieve a result that can beat closed source software. It is sometime more work to do so, when you aim for near perfection.
