QGIS - the ideal suite to turn that one "a thousand words" into captivating and inspiring maps!
Overall Satisfaction with QGIS
I work constantly with geoprocessing products, and QGIS is fundamental for all phases of this work, from data collection to the final result. Displaying originally textual data (albeit with a spatial reference) on maps, and then analyzing (quantitatively and qualitatively) those maps are the main reasons to use this software here at GISMarxev.
Finally, the possibility of printing and exporting the map to various formats (PDF, JPEG, SVG) with the help of tools that add even more information (scale rulers, wind roses, titles and legends, etc.) free and open source, are decisive for choosing QGIS.
