I like the Gantt charts and if you need very specific functions, this is the program to use. Plus everyone pretty much has it already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the program will glitch, but other than that I don't dislike any of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is the industry standard for project planning software but arguably, market dominance has not encouraged MS to improve Project. However, knowledge of this tool is very useful as it is used across industries and I've been able to enter into a client space and work from their .mpp files and share those that I've created. It's good for getting a general, predictive look at timelines and for mapping contingencies between tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When tracking multiple projects in the same file, it's not likely that the critical path will always accurately be identified, you have you use your own judgement. There are also limitations in using this software to both plan and track project progress. For example, adding progress to a plan (by marking % complete or updating 'Actual Start' or 'Actual Finish') will influence downstream dates even if there are dates that shouldn't be changed like planned meetings or deadlines, these necessitate manual restrictions to be put in place which can also interfere with detecting critical path.

We already have many predefined templates that we can use, reuse, and perfect as needed. It's as easy as picking a Gantt chart and filling in the dates, resources working on the project, and creating or deleting new tasks as needed. I can do this in Project in around 20 minutes for any project and compared to excel that takes at least 3 times as much it's a great time-saver, especially when editing the dates and updating the expectations as the projects mature.

It is really expensive. I'm happy using it as my company pays for it but I would never buy it giving there are some good free or cheap alternatives and unless you are a project manager like me there is a chance you don't really need the advanced functions anyway.
