> When you mention QGIS, you should also mention GDAL (...)

GDAL should be front and center. It's the xkcd 2347 of earth observation and geographical information systems

Yeah out of these GDAL is the one I use the most because it's easy to script. I honestly find it easier to use GDAL on the command line than the QGIS GUI which says a lot about the latter.

Also PROJ, the quiet bit closer to the core that does projections.

The sqlite db alone that's packaged with PROJ is a pillar of knowledge that one can only marvel at. The most authoritative and wide-ranging collection of projection/datum information I'm aware of.
