Re: KOffice rocks!

hmm.. i've always had the impression that they are two different tools for different types of jobs.

kplato (and ms project, for that matter) are great for small to medium sized projects that are generally fairly linear and need timelining and basic resource management.

taskjuggler and similar software products are designed for large engineering-style projects where you have a lot of resources (people) working on a number of parts of a project simultaneously and where managing the resources is more complex and important than managing the timeline.

timelining versus resource management, that's generally how i find the split. but perhaps that's just me? +)

Not entirely just you. I'm not really interested in project management -- but I have used KPlato for planning Krita development to some extent. Of course, what's missing is an uncertainty generator and knowledge of exam periods in a wide variety of countries, but it was admirably suited for my purpose.

Task juggler comes into its own when you've got scores of "resources".
