MacFamilyTree 10

MacFamilyTree 10 is out. I finally, finally gave up on satisfactorily syncing with FamilyTreeMaker, and in fact I've given up the dream of syncing with anything. I've moved all my genealogy stuff to my MacBookAir and use MacFamilyTree there and MobileFamilyTree on my iPad. I research in Ancestry and FamilySearch and other places like usual, but I enter information by hand into my tree if I feel convinced by it. Otherwise I put it in my notes. 

Wondering if other people are using MacFamilyTree and have pointers or tips? Or indeed any other procedural advice? 

Also hoping to keep this community active. I went through the membership list a while ago and added people to my circle if they'd been posting relatively recently. A lot of members seem to have left DW though.

Well, that convinces me to not buy family tree maker, then. I need to find a better way to organize -- I was looking into using scrivener for geneology, but hadn't gotten far with that yet... and I'd still need something to manage the tree. Poo.
