My current job has pretty low standards for maps in reports, and unfortunately QGIS has a dealbreaker issue: I'd like to just import a basemap, display my data on top, and then export as an image; however, in QGIS the resolution of the basemap scales with the resolution of the export. So, for example, if you want a 300 dpi image, all the city and and street labels (from the basemap) will be microscopic. It's baffling that the software does this, and as a result I have to use ArcMap for these simple maps.
