Grid of Migration Alternatives for Media Pro 1

I've started a grid of alternatives to Media Pro 1, with an emphasis on software for the Mac which will import metadata from an existing Media Pro 1 install:

I'm feeling trapped in software with an uncertain future and a few present day problems. Export and import (the ability to not feel trapped) is a key concern, along with a robust enough hierarchical tagging system to do species level hierarchies (e.g. family, genus, species as shown at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_classification ).

You're welcome to view or contribute to the grid. A similar but less capable grid is on Wikipedia.

  There has been an UPDATE for MEDIA PRO! (April 2014) Now it works even better on Mac OS X 10.92. Evidently, Corporate Gnomes listen!
  
  Here is the original post:
  
  Aperture 3.5 and Lightroom 5 are better and a lot more useful for cataloging photos than Capture One Pro 7, and everyone knows it.
  
  Media Pro is much better and exponentially more useful for cataloging photos than either Aperture 3.5 or Lightroom 5, and everyone knows that too.
  
  My guess is that Phase One corporate Gnomes have decided to compete with Lightroom because they think it costs less to shove an inferior catalog feature into Capture One Pro 7, than it does to upgrade Media Pro to 64 bit and upgrade it to tighter integration into Capture One Pro 7.
  
  It is therefore evident that the Gnomes have come up with the notion that, what with millions of new photos being created world wide on home computers every hour, no one needs to catalog their ever growing collection with anything more than what Aperture 3.5 or Lightroom 5 have to offer.
  
  Like most people, I am mentally challenged by Gnomic reasoning. I just want my software to work, I want my software to be improved, and I want to pay for the improvements so the Gnomes will be happy too.

  This grid is behind a login?

  Ooops. I left the grid private. FIxed now:

  See also a person who wanted to store a few non-pictures in a DAM, and really did not find anything suitable:

  The market for standalone DAM software running on a PC seems to be drying up, with the active development happening on cloud based solutions. I don't want a cloud based solution.
