Open Source GIS Technologies are as capable as COTS?

I've been championing the cause of open source GIS technologies since the last few months and find that these are as capable as the commercial off-the-shelf products and at times, more.

We've been traditionally an ESRI and MapXtreme shop and it was quite a challenge convincing others about the open source stuff until a prototype application was created with a rich user experience and that too with less than half the man-hours usually taken to customise on ArcGIS.

More on this will follow...
