Personal Finance Software for Unix?

Posted by Cliff on from the free-the-quickening dept.

pstreck asks: "I'm trying to find the best personal finance software for Unix. I've been using Quicken for a while, but unfortuantlly it won't run under Wine. I've tried gnucash but it just isn't up to par with what Quicken offers. What do you guys use?" While the free software versions may not quite be up to par with the current commercial offerings, it won't always be the case. The turning point can start now, of course. What finance software are you using now, what features do you like and what features do you think these software packages need?

    For decades now I have used /usr/bin/bc as my personal finance software. Give it just one try and you'll never go back to GUIs again. (I'm currently using v1.06 from GNU.)

    OK - replying to myself here.

    The GNUCash website has a big warning about the size and depencies upon it's front page - so I guess this is a known issue.

    I spent a while looking around the site, and from the screenshot page I see they're using the word 'Druid' instead of 'Wizard' for lots of things - eg. "QIF Data Import Druid" that's great! :)
