Comparison of Open Source Desktop GIS Packages


I'm curious as to what comparisons are out there between different Open Source Desktop GIS software packages. I'm aware that there has been a QGIS and gvSIG comparison on this site but I am looking for comparisons between any OpenSource Desktop GIS.


A substantial list of Open Source GIS software can be found in response to the question: What are some Free and Open Source GIS Desktop packages


I don't expect a single comparison with everything in it, but comparative subsets. Also any comprehensive benchmark/testing that may have been performed between any grouping of these products.



Answer




From what I've seen, this is the most exhaustive comparison matrix of GIS software out there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Albk_XRkhVkzdGxyYk8tNEZvLUp1UTUzTFN5bjlLX2c&hl=en#gid=0


There are quite a lot of variables in this matrix, some which may be out of scope for your current study, but the issue of application scalability can be drawn from such a topic.
