I also looked at iBank but it seems to be a new product, and I have so much data invested in Quicken that I feel uncomfortable with a product when I don't have a handle on long term viability. Any MoneyDance users who can allay my fears, and can comment on the transition from Quicken to MoneyDance?
#QUICKEN FOR MAC ONLY DOWNLOADS 3 MONTHS INSTALL#
MoneyDance seems reasonably popular, but one worry I have is that Lion will also not include a Java runtime (even though it will be "easy" to install one.). I have a ton of data in my Quicken file going back to the "early days" of this software, starting with the Windows version (sorry), running the Windows version under Wine on Linux, migrating to Mac - and spending days fixing import problems and the like. I have little desire to buy Quicken 2007 first just to upgrade, especially as the only one I found online for sale is over $150! Further, as far as I can tell from the Intuit website, there is a migration strategy from Quicken Mac 2007 to Quick Essentials Mac, but there does not appear to be a migration strategy from Quicken 2004. It may still work for me as I don't do online bill paying, but i do track investments and it sounds like this product has limited or no support for that level of functionality. Quicken's current Mac "offering," Quicken Essentials for Mac, appears from everything i have read/seen to be a substantial step backward in features and functionality. However, now that Lion will not include support for Rosetta or any PowerPC application, I am going to have to lay out some sort of upgrade plans. I am still using Quicken 2004 I've never had a reason to "upgrade" before.
Starting to think about what I'm going to do when Lion is out.seeing as how Lion will not support Rosetta.
