Generations does!! I'dont understand why no other program takes over the
feature of Descendant-Chart as Generations used to practice. Is there no way
to do it like Generations? Generations also has the waterfall descendant
charts - that's so handy when you have large charts.

I'm pretty sure Generations would do this.

I think you are asking for the impossible if you're looking for a program
to do this automatically. If you were only dealing with one cousin
marriage or one widower marrying his deceased wife's sister or whatever,
then it could work. But I have first cousin and second cousin marriages
all over the place. To rearrange to nicely and clearly display one of them
makes more of a mess of the others.
I need to be able to show cousin marriages, but these are shown in
TreeDraw by displaying the person twice in different parts of the tree:
once as a son or daughter and once as a spouse. This fails to bring out
the connections that run across the family. As far as I can see, the
only way to cope with this is to manually (and laboriously) redraw the
tree by moving elements and lines around. This seems to me to be such a
basic and common occurrence in families that there ought to be a way of
automatically generating the correct tree: the program ought to be able
to recognise that someone has married a cousin and should draw the tree
correctly.
