If all this hullabaloo about [Quicken](http://www.boingboing.net/2005/01/29/quicken_disables_the.html) is true,what software would be a logical choice to buy instead of it.
I’m looking for the equivilant of quickbooks pro.

[This Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=296734) is also discussing this and at least one user claims to have found a good alternative (but has not yet provided names.)

This thread inspired me to have a look for alternatives and I stumbled onto Moneydance. It looks like it has almost all of the features Quicken does. Does anyone have any experience with this app? I’d be especially curious to know if anyone has tried it and found it lacking. A trial version is available for download. Price for the full license is more than competitive with Quicken.

I saw a help wanted ad for a Quickbooks to Wind2 conversion. FWIW.
