Project management software for Mac OS X

[jawnbc]

Dear lazywebs,

I am trying to pick a project management application to use in my new job. I've narrowed it down to two and thought I'd see if anyone here uses either/both and had any feedback.

Merlin 2 and Omni Plan

Merlin's a bit more expensive, but it supports import/export from MS project--which might come in handy someday.

I need to decide by tomorrow, so timely feedback would be grrrreat.

It's unsurprising you get stuck in airports

I would say Omni Plan because their line of stuff is pretty good. However, there is something to be said for some good web based products out there. Have a look at http://www.37signals.com/ as I use them for their free "todo lists" service which is a subset of their other products. There is a monthly fee to use them, so you need to pick what works for you. Nice thing about the web based is that you can share it with others and it does not care what the operating system is.

Yay! Someone replied!

We already use Basecamp. It's inflexible when it comes to building projects: no import function except for the highest level of users (rather than end users). And the negative to web-based services is they're inaccessible when you don't have web access.

BTW went snowboarding last week; hope to go again tonight. :) :) :)
