Paolo,

Among the things that QGIS (and other open source desktops) can't do
are a table join, a spatial join

I'm not sure what you mean with spatial join, but if you mean overlay, and raster combination GRASS can do, and it can also do table joins, while it overlays two vector layers.

In response to the query "can I replace ArcView with
open source", my answer is "in general, no, but maybe for a specific
use case".

I'd say: "In general yes (In some respects GRASS is superior to Arc in analysis), but some things can be harder / more complicated or not possible". GRASS is a perfectly capable desktop GIS package with over 200 modules.
