Estimated births and deaths allow custom reports of individuals alive (possibly) at the time sources are available. Symbols in date fields may result in *lost* events and not just lost dates when a GEDCOM is transferred to a non-Legacy genealogy program.
Legacy 6 has a new method to find children out of order by birth date. Legacy 6 doesn't stop you from adding yourself as your own grandparent. Some families have many same-name individuals close in age (cousins) and same-name individuals in different generations with increased risk of data entry errors when dates of birth are omitted.
