I'm not that negative about QGis, it's quite good and stable as long as
you keep within its limits. However, as soon as you try to do something
special, its structure turns out to be so complex and inelastic that it
gets really difficult to add real new functionality. I have the same
impression of OpenLayers and PHP, all very much community directed
projects, in which many people do very intelligent things, only the sum
of all those intelligent things tends to get more inflexible with every
addition. I always liked PostGIS, GDAL, and especially MapServer, for
their almost limitless expandability from very simple initial concepts.
