How do you manage your trees? Myself, I use webtrees. The interface may be a bit "old" and the handling of media in particular could have been better, but it's an online solution (so I have my tree available all the time), it's open source, it's 100% standards compliant, and the community is wonderful, so ... What is your favourite programme?

That's exactly why I'm wary of Family Search. In principle, I love the "open source" character of it, but that also means that one is not in control of one's own tree.

What do you think of WikiTree? Similar crowdsourced setup, but from what I've seen they require supporting documentation and actual conversation and concensus before anything is changed.
