Quicken is not compatible with Quickbooks.
Quickbooks for Mac doesn't have the same features as QB for Windows.
Support is pay-only.
No upgrade path (we're expected to buy the entire software package like we're new customers?!!!!)

Intuit has seen my last dollars. I've been forced, more or less, to use their crap for the last 20 years because of my accountants. I am still using QB 2006 and will NOT upgrade (translation: re-purchase).

I would call Intuit evil, but that would be giving them too much credit. They're just inept.

Yah. Inept and too big for their own good. I never expect good Mac software from these bloated software companies anymore...

I'm with the other guys who are leery of having all my financial info online, in one place. That's the reason why I never got into mint. And now that mint is owned by Intuit, I'm glad I didn't do it.

It took me a while to install it, but I've been running GNUCash on my mbp for almost two years now. It's double-entry (I'm an accounting geek since that's what I studied in the uni.) Handles multiple currencies (I love to travel). Downloads stocks, mutual funds, and currency exch quotes.

Though the development may seem to be slow, I really like the direction they're going. And they are making it easier to install on OSX.
