John, I'll answer that - GenViewer is my absolutely favorite genealogy utility and I don't know how any computer genealogist can survive without it!
You can view gedcoms and files from other genealogy programs without importing them into Legacy. This is a great way to preview files that other people send you or that you download from the internet. You can create a self-viewing gedcom that can be viewed on any computer without installing software on that computer! You can do amazing searches and sorts. You can create reports - all of which are in Legacy, but it's just a little added benefit, esp when viewing a file from another program or a gedcom. It's got a small footprint (doesn't take up a lot of room on your hard drive) and runs really quickly. Not to mention that Luc Comeau, the programmer of this sweet utility, is a really nice guy <g> Try it, you'll love it! Thanks for using Legacy.

If there is an important capability provided by GENViewer I would hope that Millennia is working hard to give me that capability from within Legacy. Your thoughts?
