Free, well-featured, regularly updated, and some potentially useful 3rd-party addons.
Genealogy for Linux, really powerfull but not so easy to use when you need to tag records and export them (for example, if I need to export all my chidren ancestors, adding only the branches that lead to our close cousins - and not the many branches that come from all the ancestors); for that, you need to create several filters).
The Windows version works well but the soft needs to install a lot of files, and is slow at lauching. Just tried: a little more than 30 seconds on my PC with Pentium j2900, 4 cores 8 GB memory.
I will love Gramps if you can tell me how large a family tree can grow to? my current tree is almost 1.7 million entries.. Thank you for your valuable time.

Its limitless, all depends on your choose database, PostgreSQL is very big in storing big amount of data.

Its powerful, lots of great feature. It is also hard to understand and could use more documentation. I think its worth the learning pain.
