    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.

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

    It is stable, constantly updated, one of the oldest softwares and it has even better reporting than Quicken. We have been using over a year now without any issues.

    KMyMoney does a lot, but it also needs to grow a lot to become more complete personal finance software, overall, it's pretty good, especially if you only have 2 bank accounts and don't want to automatically download transactions from your bank's website.
