* Active community involvement. Many current Gramps users contribute reports, suggestions, and feedback to the developers through the supported public mailing lists. The Gramps program has been available for over 14 years in the decades since April 2001 and has continually grown with many features and capabilities.
* Active development effort. New versions already in testing use an advanced database design that guarantee very fast access to many thousands of entries in the database. Other new features are being designed and coordinated by several active developers. Many additional participants assist through the mailing lists. Group effort shapes and tests Gramps constantly improving functionality and usability.
* Portable. Gramps is written in a computer language called [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) <abbr title="honoring Monty Python 's Flying Circus">Python</abbr>] using [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK <abbr title="formerly GIMP ToolKit">GTK</abbr>] and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME <abbr title="formerly GNU Network Object Model Environment">GNOME </abbr>] libraries. While only well supported in certain Unix and Linux environments, these are multi-platform development libraries, meaning that Gramps can be ported to any platform the required libraries are ported to.
* Free Software/Open Source development model means Gramps can be extended by any programmer since all of the source code is freely available under its license.
* Gramps is freely distributed under the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License <abbr title="General Public License">GPL</abbr>!]
