Each has had its own set of annoyances, but I really think the root of the problem isn't "this PM is bad at project management" so much as traditional project management is bad at project management for software development. Central Desktop actually does a great job with email integration as well, but it doesn't solve any of the root problems that I brought up in my post. A cursory glance at wrike makes me think that it also doesn't address those problems. Ray, we have used BaseCamp, ActiveCollab and now we are using Central Desktop.

You pain sounds so familiar. We strugled to find a proper project management tool for about 6 months! We finally settled with <a href="http://www.wrike.com" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. It's agile and easy to use. And it's email integrated, in short just the thing we needed for our team. Which one have you tried? You pain sounds so familiar.
