I've downloaded trial versions of both OmniPlan and Merlin (thanks for the tip, I didn't even know about this one) and I'll be giving Merlin the first shot when I knock this out on Monday. I can see however, how in the future this tool (the chart that is) will be useful and probably even required by my customers (I believe providing a work build structure was actually part of this contract but got forgotten about). I'm not actually a Project Manager (although I'm apparently wearing that hat right now) and I've only been asked to draw up a Gantt chart because a project I'm working on has undergone some difficulties. I hope one day to graduate to a job where I can choose my own work OS! Funnily enough, I do vastly prefer MS Office over any of the alternatives, just what I'm used to I guess. With OmniPlan, you can create logical, manageable project plans with Gantt charts, schedules, summaries, milestones, and critical paths. However, I do have to use Windows at work and all the people I collaborate with also use Windows.
Firstly, I guess the fact that Project is a Windows app significantly counts against it because I use a Mac at home and generally prefer working in the Mac environment (it feels weird using a computer without expose and having my windows go full screen then being unable to move them without first restoring them).
