For amateur and professional genealogists alike, Reunion is generally  
recognized as the gold standard for Macintosh users.  You can download  
a demo version from:
http://leisterpro.com/

In the ReunionTalk forum:
http://www.reuniontalk.com/index.php?

using the search term "gene,"  I found this thread:  ReunionTalk >  
Using Software & Hardware with Reunion > Gene file identification?  A  
Reunion user, "dfilpus" with 71 posts in the forum, indicates a  
successful transition from Gene to Reunion by exporting a Gedcom.  I  
believe that you, as a non-member, can run the same query and browse  
the forum.

As for the forum itself, I doubt that one can find a friendlier  
group.  The support mechanisms for Reunion are superb.  In addition to  
ReunionTalk, Frank Leister has a team of people who weigh in on unique  
problems, even to working with files submitted by users.

Good luck with your choice.
