Is it any good? I’m skeptical but hopeful. Which is why I was surprised to read that there is now Quicken 2015 for Mac, which Intuit released today. Or some kept using Quicken 2007 for Mac, despite it taking nine months for Intuit to retrofit it to run on OS X 10.7 and later. So users either used Quicken for Windows in Parallels Desktop, or quit Quicken in favor of iBank or even easier-to-use online services like Mint (which I’m a fan of, despite it now being owned by Intuit). While Intuit did release Quicken Essentials 2010 for Mac, it had a very stripped down feature set, and everyone hated it. Still, it was Quicken, the name brand of personal finance software.

It’s long been a second-class citizen compared with its Windows versions, with longstanding complaints of bugs, slow updates, poor support, and file format incompatibilities. Frankly, I thought Quicken for Mac had been abandoned by Intuit.
