The Mac platform was always considered a premium platform, hence much of its software is shareware or commercial. In the recent days more freeware applications have emerged, but the majority are small utilities and not full scale applications. Enter the world of GNU which can not only provide "free" applications as in beer, but most importantly, "Free", as in Freedom.

Sorry, Eugenia, but GRAMPS is a PyGTK application. Please do some research. Also, I can't understand why the hell PyGTK apps are out. Hell, Python is already included in Tigre by default! And how can Python app be more buggy than C app? They won't segfault, at the very least.
