No one has ever denied that there might be a problem with the import of
GEDCOM into GRAMPS. All we have asked is for the information we need to
be able to debug the problem.

Since you are not willing to help us by providing the information we
need, there is not much we can do to help.

We would honestly like to help debug this problem.

It is very possible that there is a problem with how GRAMPS interprets
GEDCOM files created by FTM. This has happened before (FTM produces some
of the most non-compliant GEDCOM files we have ever seen). All we ask is
for the ability to determine what the problem is, and to do that, we
need to see what the structure of the GEDCOM file is.

If you do not like GRAMPS and would rather run FTM, then it seems like
you have found your answer. We wish you the best of luck.

However, we would still appreciate the opportunity to debug the problem.
