Bobby, None that I am aware of.
As many will know, I am averse to standardisation, but I like, and use SW because it saves me time and effort, not to mention that I no longer have to think about the construction of a Source - a god send for those of us who are lazy (or efficient - take your pick) . Do I export to a GEDCOM - yes I do; to a PHP web site; do I lose some of the detail - yes I do, but does it matter - not really as the important bits are still there, and visitors can email me if they want the exact reference. I do not often use a GEDCOM to export to non-Legacy programs, if the other program happens to be Legacy then I send my back-up. Will I continue to use SW? Of course, and the Basic Sources which I have never bothered to convert.
