Quicken is good when it works with your bank, I have a bank that doesn't work with Quicken and only exports to an older Quicken file format that is no longer supported.

I remember when Microsoft Money was Sun downed, I thought Quicken had beaten them. But it seems Inuit still has financial problems and sold Quicken.

Amazingly Microsoft Money Sunset is still available as a download and free to use.

You touched on something I've always wondered about: what's up with all those different transaction data formats? What's wrong with simple CSv files?

I believe our bank just stopped accepting stuff from the version of quicken that my father uses to do his financials. To this day he runs quicken on a 2005 (!) iMac G5, which is his daily driver.
