WSJ Review
Walt Mossberg just posted a review in the WSJ. A subscription is required to view it. Suffice it to say he didn't give it a glowing review. I quote him, "Overall, I consider QEM just a start in bringing a better version of Quicken to the Mac."

You can see his review here.
I just bought it and downloaded it. If you have specific feature questions I might be able to answer them. All I use quicken for is balancing my checkbook... nothing too big so I'm sure it'll work okay for me. I'm upgrading from Quicken 2006 for the Mac.

Thanks SilentPanda,
I am using VMWare to use Quicken 2009 on Windows. I use it to balance my checkbook via the online bank connect feature.
I was wondering whether this new version allows me to connect to all the banks to download the transactions like the Windows version?
By looking at the quicken product page, it just says over 15,000 banks added, but doesn't give me a link to specifically show which banks.
I wish there were a trial version I could try before buying this $70 copy of Quicken for Mac...
I'll get a list of the banks in the next few hours. I know how to do it and I don't think that's proprietary information or anything...
Actually it appears you can see a list of supported banks here:

The list is the same for all their products.

TUAW reviewed it yesterday.
My question in perusing the pages of this thread, is how come iBank by iggsoft (NOT ibank.com) isn't mentioned. Seems like a pretty good program to me, I'm going to d/l the trial this weekend and play with it some.

Does anybody here have experience with iBank and QE?? My mom is on the fence and was asking my advice. I'm a strident Mint fan so I have no idea.
There's a 60 day money back guarantee
Thanks, I think I am going to bite the bullet and purchase it
I bought it..
I've been using various versions of Quicken since way ack when on the PC to this version. I have to say, after reading all the reviews and what not I wasnt even sure I was going to buy it, but in the end I just bit the bullet and did it. You know what? for what I want with my financial software it does what it should simply and the UI is nice (like Mint.com). The big thing for me is being able to input my own transaction on my account rather than waiting for it to post online at least this is a way o checking my spending. sort of a check on the bank if you will. Anyway, I know there isnt much meat to this post but I just wanted to say something positive about this product to help give another opinion on the product.
It is overpriced at 69 us dollars though.

It makes me sad to see so many people posting "yeah, it looks terrible, but I bought it anyway." Vote with your wallets, people, otherwise there's no hope that Intuit will change their tune. Don't reward their terrible support and attitude towards OS X by sending them money.
I had high hopes for the new Quicken, but those reviews on Amazon are brutal! Guess I'll be sticking with iBank for now--all the while wishing for the Moneywell budgeting system.
I beta tested this app from the get go. It is better suited for the iPad. I even suggested it to them but they have no plans on doing it.
I can't believe the CEO of Intuit is on the board at Apple.
