Until the open source options have direct download options that 'just work', Quicken is the best.

I've tried GnuCash and Skrooge, can't ever get the direct downloads to work for more than two months without breaking.

Quicken died for me ten ir so years ago, as did many other personal finance software applications. It is the syncing between devices that’s imperative these days, and this is where Quicken is failing, especially when your database gets larger: it syncs, but as your database grows its latency becomes ever more apparent.

Quickbooks Online, which I have been using for a little over a year, does syncing exceptionally well; but at the cost of a polished UI.

Ideally I would love to be able to access my Quickbooks desktop database using iOS or web, alas that’s not doable.

Quicken is out from under the Intuit Monster now, so it may be worth looking at again.
