Additionally, my mortgage lender (who admittedly has a horrible Web site) was not supported by Quicken (nor by or any other financial software).

I don't have any previous Quicken or MS Money data to import so I couldn't try out those features. While that's true, the interface was the big plus for me. Quicken Essentials 2010 advertises its improvements: Native Mac Product is Easier to Set up and Use Supports More Banks, and Simplifies Transfer of Data from Previous Editions. Patzer said that his team went into the project with the aim of making ' the missing iWork application' so that users could switch between Mac Office applications without skipping a beat. Working with QuickBooks' and other Intuit applications' interfaces is really difficult when you are accustomed to Mac applications.

The first thing you'll notice about Quicken 2010 for Mac is that it actually looks like an Apple application, and that's important. We're bringing a completely new Quicken experience to Mac users, helping them answer essential money questions - what do I spend, what do I earn, where do I stand on my budgets, what is my net worth, and where can I do better?

Quicken Essentials for Mac is the first Quicken product to take full advantage of the Mac operating system and development platform. It was hard not to ask him questions about and future plans for that

I had a chance to speak with Patzer who showed me around the Quicken 2010 Essentials application. A year later, they've come out with a real, Mac 'look and feel' version of Quicken, but without many of the previous version's capabilities. With the purchase, Intuit also got Mint founder Aaron Patzer, who they installed as vice president and general manager of Intuit's Personal Finance Group. The backstory on this one is important so here it is in a nutshell: Intuit bought the amazing home finances site last year, to the dismay of many Mint users. If they'd bring this look and feel to full-featured applications like QuickBooks, I may be able to ditch my VMWare Virtual Machine software and completely go Mac (QuickBooks for Mac is a bad joke and, more important, isn't 100% compatible with the PC version my accountant uses). I've been playing with Quicken Essentials 2010 for Mac (or QEM for short) for the past few weeks, and while its user interface is beautiful, it doesn't have many of the features that Quicken users have come to expect.
