I would like to add an important aspect I am working on now: cluster computing. There is a big potential in parallellizing algorithms within GRASS, and that would really be unaffordable with commercial GIS-software. A Linux cluster nowadays doesn't cost anything any more, and with free software the possibilities for development are limitless.
