I was reading Dick Eastman’s newsletter today and came across a post about MacFamilyTree 5 beta so I decided to follow the link to the company site to see what the UI looked liked. To my surprise, the main tree diagram looks a lot like Microsoft’s Family.Show sample application that I have blogged so much about.
Compare the tree diagrams for yourself:

The latest updates to genealogy software appear to have at least a graphic designer (if not a user experience designer) on the team.
