The level of bugs and slowness in Quicken is mind bending. I've been using Quicken since it ran in MS-DOS and I've watched it get slower and buggier every year.

My latest version (Quicken 2016) literally takes seconds to tab between fields and often does not keep a correct tally balance until I close the check register view. I only have a year of data in it (I thought the slowness might have been due to importing my old data so I restarted fresh).

Since I've been getting bombarded with upgrade ads that I can't seem to disable each time I start Quicken I'm thinking of moving to another app like Moneydance. It feel like an end of an era.

First, Quicken was sold to a private equity firm at the beginning of last year, so you can't really blame Intuit for it anymore.

Second, even before it was sold, it was like Intuit's vestigial tail. It was an important part of the evolution of the company, but it didn't fit into what Intuit was trying to do and was largely ignored inside the company. Even before they announced plans to sell it, it felt like the kitchen table they keep at headquarters...something that's there to remind people of Intuit's past but feels really out of place with its present.
