    It works for the most part and does everything it advertised to an extent. Downside is I can't get it to stop crashing after 4 or 5 transactions.

    Not so much because GnuCash is particularly good, but because nothing else is particularly better. GnuCash will get the job done, works very well, and is easy to jump into once you know a few basics.

    It's awesome for anyone who needs more functionality than Mint can provide, specifically the ability to have an account that is not linked to a bank. It's great to have the equivalent of Quicken in the cloud, so it's immediately available on all devices.

    The automatic syncing is more convenient than Quicken, where for a number of institutions I have to log in, then download transactions. In addition, I found out first-hand that CountAbout has good customer service. I bank with a small credit union, and the staff went to extra effort to make sure I could get connected.

    I just wanted a "check register". This is much simpler than the full bookkeeping of GnuCash.
