iBank.
After realizing how long it had been since I reconciled any financial account of mine (please don't ask), I went and dug out Quicken. I used to be sufficiently obsessive-compulsive that I would insist on entering every transaction manually, but with many moons' worth of such transactions it seemed not only hopeless, but pointless to me. Thus the fact that Quicken fails to download my bank and credit card statements from the Web is a big deal.
After some thought I figured it might have something to do with the fact that my version of Quicken is four years old. After some poking around I thought that in fact they were no longer developing Quicken for the Mac, but I can now see that this is not true (one search later...). So I could buy a new version c. 2007.
Or I could get iBank, which seems functionally almost completely equivalent to Quicken (including the price), except that (a) downloads work, (b) it was developed primarily for the Mac. I don't like the look and feel as much as Quicken, but it has a few nice features.
So I find myself internally debating which one to use. Each can both import and export .qif files, so it probably really doesn't matter, I should just pick one and run with it. But if there are any Mac enthusiasts out there who want to look at their mutual fund portfolio in Cover Flow... this is the way to do it.
