In my opinion, Cartographic output has been the limiting factor for moving completely to Open Source GIS. Data storage, management, manipulation, they are all there, but quality cartographic output I have not seen.
One suggestion might be to generate a plugin to Inkscape <http://www.inkscape.org/>(open source vector drawing package) which places a dynamic map window into a drawing file, and also has some dynamic legend, scale bar, north arrow, etc controls.
