Many people don't realise that the R programming language can work as a fully functioning GIS. It has several powerful advantages over many other GIS programs: you can program scripts for complete automation, it is relatively fast, and it is free.
The downside is that it is not easy to get started, particularly if you are not simultaneously a geo-statistical expert and a gun programmer. I am trying to make the jump easier for ecologists by providing courses and helpful blog posts here.
