I am supportive of removing the software tag from most, if not all questions, because it was being used mainly for software recommendations and it was unclear to me whether software recommendations were on-topic or off-topic here.

I think Which genealogy software or website is “the best”? clarified that software recommendations are on-topic here, as long as they follow the asking guidelines of the Software Recommendations Stack Exchange. It also clarified that software questions asking for lists of software or opinions to try and determine which software was "best" are off-topic.

To me that left the software tag on a number of questions that were about using genealogy software. To me, these are clearly on-topic, but far better tagged with the actual software. Most are also tagged with that software, so I think the software tag is superfluous.

If a question is about Family Tree Maker I would like to see it tagged family-tree-maker rather than sofware (or both).
