Worst of all, it would crash on occasion, necessitating rebuilding all my data files. In addition to its 32bitness, it had other issues: The UI was tiny and horrid, the windows never opened where I closed them ( Moom's saved layouts to the rescue!), and online access to my accounts was nearly non-existent.
Why? Basically because it worked (most of the time), and I didn't like any of the alternatives, which I would occasionally test. Yes, I was using an eleven-year-old app to track our family's spending and investments. I've been using Quicken in some form since 1994, but stopped with Quicken 2007-I found the newer versions worse than Quicken 2007, so I never upgraded. The coming of ' not without compromise' 32bit app usage in the fall 2018 macOS release finally forced my hand: I was going to have to update my single longest-used app, Quicken 2007.
