RootsMagic 8 is kludgy and counterintuitive. For some unknown reason, the developers have eliminated all of the single key commands that made entering genealogical data quick and painless on previous versions. They've completely sacrificed ease of use and the needs of the genealogist for a cartoonish UX that forces the user to hunt for buttons to accomplish what used to be done with a couple of keystrokes. I ditched it after an hour and have gone back to RM7.

Empty.
Don't bother if you want to load it it on a MAC. Total garbage, crashes and freezes up...
The development timeline, poor performance and recent lack of updates betray a failed business...
