The story of Quicken and Macs is interesting. Back in the 2007/2009 time from Apple switched from a CPU chip they had used for years to Intel chips. To keep the existing software written for the Pre-Intel CPU, Apple added a program in the OS named Rosetta. There were clear Rosetta was temporary. Intuit either did not believe Apple or just did not give a crap about the Apple/Mac part of the business.
That’s the time I call software purgatory. I got Parallels and ran Windows on a Mac. Ran Quicken for Windows.
I started using Quicken before Windows was available and was not ready to switch (In the name of completeness, I was not pleased about having to buy a new version of Quicken every 3rd year. I had tried other software programs. Quicken was enough better that I was going to live with it.)
Sometime in the 2013 time frame the the second version of Quicken written for the Intel chip was released and I happily switched 100% to Apple. About the same time, I told my wife Window 7 was the last version of Windows I was supporting and she could switch to Apple or find other tech support.
I have seen big changes for the better in Quicken in the last 10 years. New things that are noticeable happen about 4 to 5 times a year. some improvement. Updates happen monthly. Mostly they are bug fixes. Some Bank will change its security system and the stuff that used to work won’t any more seems to be the most common 2023 item. I have had that same experience with Office 365.
If people don’t like the subscription model software, they should buy another product. Some people do not like Chevys. Others hate Fords.
Clearly some people just like to complain. Kind of reminds me of Congress.
