qgis and grass are quite different when it comes to usability issues.
I'm not sure if it is useful to group them together like this.

I use qgis to visualize the data.  I've been unable to get grass
going, but have been told by people with GIS knowledge that it is a
good tool.  I recommend testing qgis as soon as possible. :)

(If you use debian, 'aptitude install qgis' should get you going. :)
