My brother is very into genealogy and has tried several software and online services, however he has always done his wooden family trees for print and gifting in Illustrator.
This makes me think that the problem of automatically generating a family tree that looks good enough to be put in a frame is not yet solved, though I haven't done the research myself.
Someone should disrupt this field :)

Or it is maliciously implemented freemium, for example someone spent hours entering their family and printing is only possible for a fee. Perhaps my wife is lucky and there is solid non-cloud desktop software which she groks. Then she is proud to have a family tree which she grew herself.
