Mike,

If you have a Mac, it's hard to beat OmniPlan on a desktop.

I used the previous version called PMX, Omni bought the code and improved on
it. It's solid, and very easy to use. It imports MS Project so that is
nice.

I have heard about FastTrack in Windows, but have never used it... it seem
that on Windows MS Project has pretty much cornered the market.

I have tried Trac, but really prefer Basecamp ease of use much more,
especially if you want a tool to communicate with your client and not just
developers.
