There has been several discussions on this topic. IN the end depends are one's needs, client, or cloud.
One that I've used and is a free, open source, cross-platform client option that can open .mpp files

I've found Excel, or any other spreadsheet, will do a decent GANTT chart quite easily, with some basic formatting skills. With a little more effort, you can track resources, effort and progress. I used to use Project years ago, but found that the resourcing module could really mess up the entire project file.
