Another BaseCamp alternative worth looking at is HyperOffice. They got a good many years behind them, and are a robust, dependable product.

I liked Basecamp, but it's a bit outdated. Copper looks nice, but still too web1.0.

I like the new PM tools that came out recently, like 5pm (www.5pmweb.com). It just takes a single look to see why it's different.

May be I'm superficial, but I use just 20% of features anyway.

Yeah, pm software has many flavors these days and I agree with PM Hut about a "a long way to go". We have developed DeskAway.com and are seeing a lot of converts from simpler tools - with changing times people are looking for a mix of simplicity, feature-richness and affordability.

On another note, I do feel that the genuineness of blog comments is slowly fading away....

I agree with Bruce and Jones! I see Wrike comments everywhere I read about project management. There are also other tools that are being mentioned, but not as often as Wrike.
Btw, I don't find the application really useful.
No offense. :)

Yeah, what is up with Wrike doing that? Mention project management ANYWHERE in a post and *bing*, along comes the Wrike spam.

WTH - Do they employ an army of comment spammers in India?

This is old news... basecamp has tons of competition: http://www.whybasecampsux.org/

And no doubt we will soon see the obligatory "basecamp not for you? check out wrike" post here.

I believe this is not the only competition that Basecamp is facing, I remember yesterday I read a similar article about a competition from a different company. I still think that online Project Management applications have a long way to go, and I'm sure that the long term leader in this industry has not emerged yet...
