Not true. VMD eats at least .gro, .g96, .trr and .xtc as well as .pdb
and a whole pile of others.
M.F.: 
Indeed - VMD takes every gromacs formats
Just take care about the terminal residials - sometimes VMD doesn't
treat them properly.
In this case just use the 'atomselect' option to select the whole
molecule for a reperesentation/analysis (via the atom indexes).
It is also a good idea to remove periodicity (with gromacs tools) 
BEFORE analysing your trajectory with VMD.
But as a whole - the VMD could be a good choice.
