"Doesn't work in Windows"
Version: Gramps AIO 3.4.2
Pros
None - since it wouldn't in Windows XP, unable to evaluate Pros.
Cons
Wouldn't work in Windows (XP).
Summary
I tried running both the portable version and desktop version. In both cases, a small start-up screen loaded and then vanished. I was disappointed since the features seemed promising. I ended up purchasing RootsMagic but if the bugs in the Windows version of GRAMPS can be worked out, I'd be willing to re-visit the program.

"Well, since it is not easy ... maybe just 4 stars."
Version: Gramps AIO 3.4
Pros
The MOST powerful genealogy program ANYWHERE free OR expensive.It is pretty simple to go to the GRAMPS website and figure it out.
It is written in python so it is EXTREMELY fast compared to anything written in Java. I love Java, but it is so D*** slow and uses tons of PC resources.Cons
Not very user friendly, If you don't have the IQ to figure stuff out, don't bother rating the program.
AGAIN THE ONLY NEGATIVE ... is it requires at least an AVERAGE IQ. Once you figure it out, it is well worth the effort learning.Summary
I feel that some of the software developers may be threatened by the power of this program and may give it a bad rap.
This and Family Tree Legions is the only free-ware I use. FTL is simple to use even for a beginner and I recommend it for less technical family members. There is very little that GRAMPS wont do. FIGURE IT OUT DUMBAS*! Powerful features are available as plug-ins (similar to GIMP and Photo-shop). If you can write your own plug-ins, you can expand well beyond ALL of its current abilities. So the ONLY limitations of GRAMPS is your OWN IQ.
... and NO I do not work for them, program for them, or any way connected to them. Just looking at it from a degreed programmer's view ... I admire genius when I see it. -

"Worst genealogy program"
Version: Gramps AIO 3.2.5
Pros
Couldn't tell you. Would give it zero stars, if this form allowed it.
Cons
Downloaded program. Took a good five minutes for all the files to download but, even so, received a message that it was missing several files and would not run.
Summary
With all the good programs on the market, don't waste your time on this garbage.
