Budget 6.0 (Mac OS X)

Great program, needs major aesthetic facelift  

I really like this program a lot, find it easy to use, like its proactive capacity to budget, and most importantly Budget has helped me to get out of debt after some lean graduate school years.

To go from an already poor-looking interface to one that is even worse, while other possibilities for working with personal finance are abounding, is really unfortunate. All of these are purely aesthetic concerns, and have nothing to do with the nuts and bolts of this great program, but am I alone here in wishing that Budget would just pay someone who understands design elegance to give the whole thing a facelift? It looks like a joke, and I hope that the developers will take aesthetics more seriously in the future, because underneath the hood lies something really worthwhile. [alert admin]
