The dugg “quicken-killer” is apparently no good, but the comments at digg itself provide lots of info on Mac personal finance software. Strange, but true. Read the comments. Don’t follow the link. [via Russell]

I’d say stick with Quicken for Mac until the contenders get a bit more mature. I’ve tried Moneydance and it’s no better and in several respects not as good as Quicken for Mac. I’ve also looked into iBank, which seems very promising, but reviews I’ve read from users suggest it needs work.
I think the only reason to switch is if you’re angry at Intuit for tossing Mac users the table scraps from Windows users’ four-course gourmet meal. But as far as I can tell, Quicken is still the best personal finance tool available for the Mac and I’m sticking with it (I’ve been using it since 1994). I contemplated switching to the Windows version but the idea of maintaining my personal finances on an operating system as vulnerable as Windows gives me the willies.

I use Budget (I wrote about it briefly here) for my Mac, and while it’s not for someone with complicated finances, I find it useful for balancing my checkbook and, well, budgeting. It’s a nice little application, actually, and I recommend it for people who don’t require account interaction.
