I really like many aspects of this program, which I purchased about a month ago. I think it's laid out really well, and there is a lot of thinking that has gone into how functions work. I currently use Moneydance, and although the interface is kind of clunky, it's signifantly faster to use.
MoneyWell's lack of speed will get on your nerves VERY quickly. It hesitates on almost any function, such as changing accounts or smart buckets. Scrolling through a long list in one account is the only thing that runs "fairly" smoothly. One would think that a program coded to run natively in Leopard would run faster than a program written in Java (Moneydance), but that's not the case here.
Another small addition that would be usefull is the abilty to see a running total in the register. Currently the only place to see the total is at the account icon. Great if you want to know where you ended at, but if you want to know where you were at in Mid December when an "issue" occured with your bank, no such luck (yet).
I really hope these small issues will be addressed soon. I have it installed, and after a few posted updates I try an export from Moneydance into MoneyWell to take it out for a spin again.
I can't recommend this program yet, but it's showing a tremendous amount of promise.
