Anybody that thinks programs like Quicken are obsoleted by online banking doesn't have much to keep track of. Online banking only lets you look at the recent past and current status of online accounts. It doesn't allow you to track future transactio – checks written but not yet cleared, future online payments made, etc. – which is critical to ensuring that you have funds in the right places at the right times to ensure that everything clears. No online system does a good job of tracking physical assets like real estate, or produces financial statements. If your finances are really simple and you don't own much, online banking may be all you need. But when you've got eight or ten bank accounts, brokerage accounts, a variety of real estate and loans, etc., you need something like Quicken. And while Quicken for Mac has taken a long time to become a usable piece of software, it did (barely) get there with Quicken 2017, and I'm happy they continue to improve it. I don't love a subscription model, but the pricing seems borderline reasonable, and if they continue to do a good job improving the product and providing support, I'll pay it.
