QGIS or Quantum GIS is an open source GIS software that supports
- Importing Shapefiles, Importing Planet.osm into QGIS
- Export of OSM polygon format
- Connection to PostGIS and WMS layers and mapnik.
- Remote control JOSM [1]
- Support plugin in python script
The new QGIS version 1.7.0 allows to create advance symbology (similar to Mapnik or Osmarender) in a powerful but very easy way (a few mouse click), see examples here and a detailed video on youtube. The learnosm project created the 43 pages long "Beginning Quantum GIS" guide, which you can freely download as a pdf file (english version).
There is a QGIS OSM Plugin.
A useful short description of this and how to use it, is provided on the Mapperz blog. Appears to work with versions 1.3 upwards.
- Data from other vector layers can be imported into the OSM layers, but attribute information does not appear to also be imported. OSM data do not appear to be readily copied into other vector layers in a similar manner, but entire layers can be exported as shape files, with tags concatenated as a single attribute.

Quantumnik is a python plugin for Mapnik-style authoring in QGIS.
You can use OSM as a background in QGIS thanks to the OpenLayers Plugin, see Sourcepole's github
