Okay, I'm in. Profile also.
The pedigree view truly is annoying unless I'm 'wanting' to look at it... which I seldom do. I very seldom look at it in my software. Typing everyone in, one at a time.... I KNOW who's there.... don't need to look at how neat they are all lined up. I reserve that for when showing someone else who does not know what I know. Looks impressive to them, true. That's why pedigree view on the online tree is great for "new invites" to take a gander over, before they "dive in" to look at the really good stuff and start reading & learning... ^_^
