We’ve used QuickBooks for the longest time for our small legal firm. It works perfectly, and we are comfortable with it. I do feel for those who prefer Microsoft Money, though – it’s not easy to do without a software package that has served you well.

Keep in mind that GnuCash uses double-entry accounting unless it’s changed the last few years. It’s nice for those with accounting background but can be a bit of a rough paradigm shift from tools like Quicken.

I use Moneydance and like it well enough for what it does. The main reason I selected it was due to Quicken Mac’s incompetence (not the same as the Windows product and terrible at importing data last I tried). iBank for Mac is getting better but wouldn’t do everything I needed last I tried it and was a bit slow.

I’ve been using Microsoft Money for almost 8 years now. When I learned that Microsoft would discontinue the product, I bought Quicken. I am so disappointed with Quicken because the largest digit is 99,999,999. I live in Indonesia where Rp.99,999,999 is only about USD 10,000. I asked the customer service if there was a way around that limit, there was none. They referred me to buy Quickbooks, but when I checked through the internet, Quickbooks also had a limit of 99,999,999. I suppose the maker of Quicken does not anticipate “rich people” to use their products.

I migrated to Gnucash and really loving it. A bit of a steep learning curve, but then it is very flexible and work well with multiple currencies

I’ve been using Microsoft Money for probably 10 years now, so I’m used to it and comfortable using it. I’m not sure what I’ll do when it is discontinued- maybe switch to a similar product like Quicken. You’ve got me wondering when my version expires – I’ll have to check that when i get home!

Currently I also use some online PF managers like Mint, but most of those just aren’t as robust as Money. *sigh*

I have been using Yoodle Money center since some time, its free, and very comprehensive, with no ads too. What additional features do gain from using MS money?
