PaWriter was the answer to my prayers…Mac-based geneology software for Mac OS 10 which could use the GEDCOM that I had from the last time I used the LDS software

Biggest Pro: Mac, Free, Easy to Use, Good support and discussion forum
Biggest Con: Doesn’t yet support right-click copy/paste. But will.

If anyone has been using PAF for Macintosh and disappointed that the LDS is no longer supporting PAF, then check out Howard Metcalfe Personal Ancestry Writer II also known as PAWriter II. He has one version for Mac OS 8.6/9.x and one for Mac OS X. It combines most of the features of the LDS Personal Ancestral File program for the Macintosh (for which all development stopped a few years ago after release 2.3.1.)

Biggest Pro: Very much like PAF for the Macintosh
Biggest Con: None
