Pros
Gephi enables me to create beautiful, publication-ready graphical images.
I can write programs to be incorporated in Gephi.

Likelihood to Recommend
Gephi is wonderfully suited for research and conducting follow-up social network analysis that GIS is too cumbersome for. It is less-well-suited for spatial statistical modeling, which is easier in programs like GeoDA, Stata, R, and GIS.
