PPM is a relatively well done MacProject clone.  The programmer who wrote it  
for Visus doesn't work there: some sort of contractor or whatever. (Visus -  
correct me here if I've got this wrong.)  

It's not the most NeXTy application I've ever seen and has some (in my opinion)  
serious bugs: poor scrolling, date calculation problems, some mac-isms in  
cut/paste/move/etc that conflict with my NeXT habits.

It worked ok for small stuff, quickly knocked off, but I'd never try to manage  
my whole project with it.

Having said that, it has drawn some pretty pictures for me and was worth the  
$175 or whatever deal I got.  On the other hand, they supposedly have a new  
version and I've heard squat!
