What is the best genealogy software available and why?

I'm trying to research my family ancestry and I am using the software of Mormon, but not very in depth. I am already using Family Search. I wonder what is the best software no matter the price.

Family Tree Maker ($ 39) is the market leader in the U.S. PC. The Meeting is the only program I know in the U.S. for the Mac I use Roots Magic ($ 29) in the U.S. on a PC I work as a database designer and I know quality work when I see it. RM is easy to use, but that does things right FTM does not. Exactly what makes sounds like "geek" to you, denormalization, for example. They use a descriptor table and the ID for the location, too. If, for example, has "Modesto, Stanislus, California "as the venue for 400 events in its database, then you discover that the county is spelled" Estanislao ", you can change only and will be correct in all facts 400. I agree in part with Wendy – tools should be secondary. But the helper tools. RM let me select people. For example, if I find a large database of Pennsylvania Weddings 1752 – 1900, MRI could have shown me all in my database that had "Pennsylvania" in any in fact – birth, death, census, marriage – so I can check to see if they were in the database marriage. Could limit the list to those born after 1740 and before 1900. I could have "helped" me in three ways: 1) Selected in the individual vision 2) Printed on 3) "Printed" to a text file, which could be imported into Excel If you search Google for genealogy software review [] or [genealogy software comparison] will thousands of partial and unbiased opinions.
