MS Project alternatives

[theSeb]

I am looking for an OS X native application that is as close to MS Project as possible, or better.

I am aware of Merlin (~£200), Ominplan(£150) and iTaskX (£90). These are the 3 that have been recommended in the past on this forum.

Anything else out there that I should be aware of. I am tempted for Ominplan, since I use Omnigraffle, but I would like to hear from users' opinions.

There's GanttProject. It's a bit light-weight but works well for projects that can be handled by GP.

They all have trial versions. Why not try them all and see what works best for your needs?
