MoneyWell - 1.4.9

I'm a part of that pool of ex-Quicken users who have been orphaned, looking for a real alternative to Quicken for many years. I broke the Quicken habit with Moneydance (which IS also a great product). But whereas Moneydance has sort of gone stale with feature improvements, the MoneyWell team has been hard at work. I've reviewed MoneyWell before (1.3 I believe). It's strength has been in it's vision, scope, and a very clean execution to that vision (just watch their online videos and you'll pick this up). However, in the past, their main liability that has kept me from converting to MoneyWell has been software speed and responsiveness. 1.4.1 IS a significant improvement in this area, and is responsible for me finally migrating from Moneydance to MoneyWell. I've really been a fan of the all-in-one screen format (becoming more popular now that we're getting larger monitors). This reduces pop-up windows for reconciling, or adding transactions, or even viewing spending graphs. MoneyWell still has a few areas that are less intuitive. Whereas Moneydance doesn't actually add a transaction to the register until you've hit enter (and gives you an audible sound to confirm so), MoneyWell assumes that one you click on the new transaction icon, a new transaction is already created in the register. I'm not so sure this is the smartest way to do so, but I suspect everyone will have a different opinion on this. For me it doesn't confirm data accuracy during entry. If you get pulled from your transaction before it's complete, or you click on another transaction in your register before your done, it's already in your register. I personally would like to see the new transaction button generate a new entry. It should only appear in your register at the time you've completed and confirmed entry (maybe an audible confirmation?) Other than that, the interface is responsive, easy to read, follow, track buckets, and utilizes the screen space very well. Importing data that I had exported from Moneydance was easy, and with no errors. All accounts and buckets pulled in perfect. The whole import took about 1 minute, and I have over ten years of data. Excellent job team!
