I'll put my two cents in here. I used family tree maker until the 2005 version. I didn't like the changes they made, so I downloaded each program that would allow me to try it for free. I tried, PAF, Brother's Keeper, Rootsmagic, and The Master Genealogist. I played with each program for about a week, and with things I like to do Rootsmagic fit my wants/needs the best. The only way you can tell which program is right for you is to play with them for several days at a minimum, add people, create reports, that is the only way ou are going to find a program that will do what you want/need. What works for one may not work for another.
