I left TMG and moved to Legacy several years ago. Legacy is much easier and less cumbersome to input data. The only thing I have missed in Legacy that TMG offered is a true Ahnentafel report. TMG does a very good job of that and I have found no equivalent in Legacy.
Quite often I wish to follow one line (or surname) from a particular person back to the progenitor and it is tough to do that in Legacy.
