Re: [Gramps-users] Gramps-users Digest, Vol 86, Issue 26

I do not agree. It has nothing to do with computer savvy geeks. I am not a geek, but a genealogist for many years. Gramps has all the features you need. If you don't need them, don't use them, but their there if you need them.  For serious genealogy you come accross situations where other applications lack features and you are forced to use a comment fields for example. Gramps can handle it. 

People do not trust software that is free and is developed by people in there free time. People trust developers that are paid for the job. It is true that Gramps may come to a hold in development and innovation, but this is ale a fact for companies
