    Its logic is very different from MS Money (because of double entry). It's not intuitive. I don't like the interface and especially reports, most of which I don't even understand.

    GnuCash is accounting software for small businesses, not financial management for individuals.

    GnuCash and Microsoft Money are profoundly different pieces of software. I can't imagine why this was listed as an alternative.

    I used Microsoft money for a long time, but I needed to change to a more OS friendly software to keep my finances, after trying a few different programs, HomeBank was my favourite, although it lacked some features, and it took me a while to figure out how to transfer my Microsoft Money files to HomeBank, I ultimately figured it out and having used Homebank for a few years now, I can say that for my needs it works wonders. If you want to keep an eye on your budget, I highly recommend Homebank.
