Quicken vs iBank (and others) for Mac Users?

[sweetvanity]

DH and i are in the process of combining our assets and would like to invest in a Quicken-like program that will let me basically run our family finances from one central location. i have been reading reviews of both Quicken '07 for Mac and iBank, but it seems as though both have sparkling and loathsome reviews so i can't figure out which might be better for our needs.

Does anyone else run on a mac and use financial management software? What kind?
Do you like it?
Easy to use?

I have iBank right now and it's ok- it gets the job done. It's definitely easy to use and their CS answers questions really quickly (at least via email). I had Microsoft Money on my PC and I liked that a lot more but you can't get it for a Mac. I went with iBank over Quicken because every review I read on Quicken was AWFUL.

thanks so much for the response.

can you pay your bills directly through iBank? or do you still have to go to the bank or vendor website? and then enter it in the program? (i've never used this kind of software)

I'm so sorry it took me so long to come back-- I totally forgot! I still go to the bank/vendor website. I don't think you can do it through iBank and I don't think you can do it through Money or Quicken either.

i ran a business with quicken home & business & i really liked it. very intuitive. no experience with ibank.

my bro got me into mint.com. it's free & net based. very awesome. however not all banks/cc's participate.
