When producing genealogical reports, it would be nice if different facts, such as occupations and residences, could be bullet pointed or placed on different lines. Currently, everything is reported in one long gibberishy paragraph (potentially over a page long) which appears as though it has been written by somebody of low intelligence/not possessing the basics of grammar etc.
I currently bypass the above problem by using The Complete Genealogical Reporter (at added expense (so add that to the cost of Family Historian if coherent genealogical reports are desired)), but I feel the ability to produce a sensible and coherent report should be one of the most important features of any genealogical software. I was always complimented on my Family Tree Maker reports, so perhaps a few ideas could be learnt from there.
Remember you can customise the generated paragraphs, by using a combination on improved sentences and by over-riding the sentences for individual facts as required.
If you prefer facts split over lines you could also look at some of the non-narrative report formats.
