Ravi,
What us Open Source evangelists are missing is an honest comparison
between ESRI desktop applications and Open Source equivalents.
This has been done somewhat. You might find it interesting reading.

Todd Buchanan compared GRASS and ArcGIS in his master thesis (Geoscience
/ GIS):
Title: Thesis – Comparison of ArcGIS 9.0 and GRASS 6.0: Case Study and
Implementation.
· Detailed costs and benefits of each GIS and included a
comparison of acquisition, installation, implementation, and utilization.
· Involved Landsat image classification and analysis of urbanization
of Eugene, OR.
You can get the thesis here:

The thesis used GRASS 6.0 and GRASS became even better since then:-) I
would not agree with TB's statement of technical support being virtually
non-existent, because you get answers quickly in the mailing lists.
I hope that helps,
Markus Metz
