I asked the exact same question a few months ago and although folk provided me with all the linux financial app names etc, I am still a Quicken user. I am afraid, for me, linux doesn't provide anything like the Quicken functionality and appearance, ease of use etc.

Now whilst you may get the impression that Quicken can't be run under linux, don't be fooled. I have heard of a few quicken stalwarts using it via the CrossOver Wine app as well. So it isn't impossible to run on linux, I have just not got around to doing it that way yet.
Hylton,
Interestingly, I stuck with Gnucash and actually have it working, although I'm not sure for how long. It's a double entry system, and I'm not used to moving things from one account to another. The program did <snip> Rem (WA6CJK)
I too use Quicken, but only for relatively simple, personal stuff: checkbook, money mkt, three savings accts...like that. I tried it on COO and found it ok. My one complaint was that I could not set up another program: PocketQuicken at the same time. This allows HotSync between Quicken and Palm device. "Could not" here means I took only minimal effort, failed and returned to VMW w/Quicken, PocketQuicken as the lone Win survivors on my box. I thought I found that I could sync the data through several steps and some command line entries with coldsync, but that was not "easy enough" to draw me from my last Win holdout. If I could hotsync, in jpilot, with PocketQuicken happening at the same time, syncing Quicken data, then I am finally gone from all Win dependancy. My two cents worth (which in 1958 dollars is...)
