    I asked the exact same question a few months ago and although folk
    provided me with all the linux financial app names etc, I am still a
    Quicken user. I am afraid, for me, linux doesn't provide anything like
    the Quicken functionality and appearance, ease of use etc.

    I am a dedicated Quicken user for the last 10 years and whilst I would
    like to change to a linux alternative, after reviewing MyMoney,
    MoneyDance and Gnucash, I found it was better to keep either a dual boot
    machine or a separate Windows machine available just for Quicken. sure
    the Windows software might need reloading every 6-12 months but hell,
    its financial records and until a linux alternative can import directly
    from Quicken backup files and also look the same, I am afraid, for me,
    Quicken will remain.

    Now whilst you may get the impression that Quicken can't be run under
    linux, don't be fooled. I have heard of a few quicken stalwarts using it
    via the CrossOver Wine app as well. So it isn't impossible to run on
    linux, I have just not got around to doing it that way yet.
