[...] source GIS were still using their proprietary software as well. You can view the results using the Polls archive below the current [...]
I think the map composer (map layout support) and editing is soon getting quite good. Also labeling is getting there with the newest builds. Along with the new symbology engine there is less and less an excuse regarding map symbology, printing and labeling.
For myself, one reason to also use proprietary solutions is that there are custom-tailored solutions for surveying and waste-water management: complex data models, customized forms and analysis tools, report builder, data-quality tools, etc. These applications are made to match the daily workflows.
Of course it is possible to redo these workflows with OS GIS. And we are already working on it. In the medium time frame more and more of the proprietary apps will be replaced by QGIS and custom Python applications. It is only a matter of time.
