Kirsten, I do not use WorldConnect and although I have trees on Ancestry I haven't used them for a long time (now well out of date!), so I actually don't know, but there is no reason to suppose that they will not produce good results.
TNG uses a particular type of web coding and it is quite possible that it does not know how to handle the current Legacy Gedom output. It does not follow that this will apply to other types of coding. I recently transferred a Gedcom from Legacy to another program and this transferred OK, so it would seem that the basic Legacy Gedcom 5.5 is OK.
