Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials. Obviously this is not an option for many. I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.

Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4? Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

I have tried every one of the substitute programs for Quicken and found all of them lacking in one way or another. Maybe I'm just to lazy to look for work arounds but I have just found it easier to stick with Quicken. I for one will welcome this new change. I wonder if they will charge for it since it's still Quicken 2007. Maybe after that they can bring out 2012 Quicken with upgrades. Thanks new General Manager. Then I can get Lion and it will be maybe by then in a 2nd or 3rd version (I hope).

This Discussion parallels Lion OS 10.7 & Quicken 2007

Here is my earlier post from that discussion:

As one who was involved from the start of this discussion, for the many reasons expressed by others about Quicken, I agree that this late decision of Quicken/Intuit to support Lion is just not good enough.

Forgive me, but as they say in the vernacular, "Screw Them!"

PS iBank is a great program that promises to only get better. I have committed to it and can't say enough about their support group.

I wouldn't hold my breat on that one. Intuit is notorious for delaying the release of new updates. I would suggest that 2014 might be when it will actually be released.

Personally I am agreement John Bonn all the way.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
