Ancestry.com to retire Family Tree Maker software - what software do you use? [View all]
http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2015/12/08/ancestry-to-retire-family-tree-maker-software/"Ancestry will continue to support current owners of Family Tree Maker at least through January 1, 2017. During this time, all features of the software, including TreeSync™, will continue to work, and Member Services will be available to assist with user questions. We will also address major software bugs that may occur, as well as compatibility updates."
The primary reason I like FTM is because of the sync between Ancestry and my local db. If Ancestry opens the API to other developers - and I don't know if this is a consideration - I wouldn't be bothered about switching to another program.
What program do you use/like? I know some used Master Genealogist and I heard that was also discontinued?
