Hi Stefan,
I used Quicken for 13 years and finally switched to Money last September
(cold turkey!). The online banking booster in Quicken is certainly
something I miss. I also find the Canadian version of Quicken a bit
more Canadian than the Canadian version of Money. However, the main
reasons I switched to Money are: like yourself, I really like the
interface; I also like to upgrade my software each year and Quicken is
just too expensive and not worth the $100 CDN each year. I also like
the reporting better in Money and I find that it interfaces with the web
much better than Quicken.
For what it's worth!
