In my opinion, Cartographic output has been the limiting factor for

uDig can print directly to your printer (or plotter). We have been also
generating PDF files for the last couple releases. More of that comming
on 1.2.x. We had a look at several products before deciding that uDig
needed to represent Maps and Pages separately.
Generating SVG is also pretty easy to do; the batik library can be
hooked up to the renderer for an export - and I quite enjoy Inkscape.

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.
