Hi Nik, I also use a variety of tools to complete my tasks.
Until recently I have been using Kosmo (v 1.2.1) but found it limiting in so many areas, very similar to the previous version of gvSIG. That is you can do 70% of what you need but have to refer to other tools to complete different tasks. Other tools I use include JUMP, OpenJUMP, Quantum, OpenEV, Sextante, EveryDWG and miscellaneous other utilities. Recently I retested the beta release of 1.9 and was impressed by its functionality. It did 95% of what I needed. The only reason I did not use it in production is that it was a beta release and had a range of known bugs. I was very please to see that several weeks later that a new stable release was made available. I have been using this stable version since then and have been able to do nearly everything I wanted. My only gripe is that the icons are very small (especially for use on a laptop) and the map utility is a bit slow (although that said it does not crash). All and all I have required to use 'other tools' less and less as I understand where the gvSIG developers have put various tools and how to use them.
