Who else dislikes Quicken?

[ILLMAS]

I dislike quicken (for business use, ok for personal use) because it doesn't give you a balance sheet or trial balance, makes what is supposed to be a very simple tax return into a complex one!!!

I like Quicken very much and use it for several small businesses without employees. Several of my clients also use it. I really like the simplicity and use of the reports that it creates. I never expect any software to do my job for me. The info from Quicken reports gets transferred to either a Sch C or 1065. The 1065 has its own balance sheet. On the other hand, I dislike Quickbooks and find it to be overly expensive and overkill for small businesses.

I've got a client who informed me that Quicken upgrade for Mac users has been ruined. Not being a Mac user, I don't understand all her issues. She is looking elsewhere for an easy system to keep her corporate books. She is looking at AceMoney Lite, AccountXpress3 and GnuCash. Does anyone have an opinion on these or on any other Quicken alternative?
