You'll get as many answers as there are people in this

To - sorta - forestall the avalanche, here's what most
folks will say:
Windows: PAF and Legacy
MAC: ?? Reunion ??
Linux/Unix: Gramps
PAF is available for download from http://www.familysearch.org, the LDS
genealogy site. Legacy is available from http://www.legacyfamilytree.com.
Reunion: http://www.leisterpro.com
