Is One Great Family the end-all solution for my family history research? Probably not. Since they don't own any actual source documents, you'll have to go elsewhere for those. While I love the way they display the family tree and the specific individual's family, I wouldn't use One Great Family as my primary records manager, either.
But, as someone who has a very robust family tree already, I have found that One Great Family has been an invaluable resource for getting me new leads to research. As any serious genealogist would agree, digging in and breaking through those brick walls is a lot easier if you have something to go from... a date, or a name (even if it's the wrong name) than if you have nothing at all. Using One Great Family has helped me fill in three "holes" in my family tree, including my great great grandfather, and I'm not done.
In summary, I would recommend One Great Family to a friend.
