Is Pedigree view not suitable for you? The configure view dialog (View >
Configure View; or it should be on the toolbar already) allows you to change
it to vertical (both top to bottom and bottom to top) if that's what you
prefer, though I personally find the default left -> right a good use or
screen real estate. A double click on a person will make them the center
person; you can use right-click > Edit to edit that person directly. If you
want to directly write dates and places, that is not possible - you have to
open the person editor and add events by hand. This is in part a consequence
of GRAMPS design, but it provides a tremendous amount of flexibility which
other programs simply don't have (at least last time I used them). Perhaps
there's a Gramplet that would allow more direct editing, but I'm not aware
of it.

Note that this all applies for the trunk version of GRAMPS, the one to
become 3.3 (release should be happening fairly soon now). If you are using
GRAMPS 3.2, you might not have all the options I mentioned. You could try
running a development version of GRAMPS[1], but of course, not on your real
data! Or, you could just wait a bit for the release.

Basically, Relationship Graph is what you need (Reports > Graphs >
Relationship Graph). It has many, many options, and I suggest playing around
with it to figure out what it can do and what you want. Hourglass Graph
might also be useful, but I haven't really used it much. For computer use, I
recommend printing to PNG with a very high DPI (to have the text clear even
when you zoom in). For printing, you'll have to find the format most useful
to you.

You're welcome, I hope this all helps. If you have any further questions,
don't hesitate to ask. GRAMPS is a very powerful
