I agree about the MD interface. But GnuCash doesn't seem to be a viable
option for me because of the fact that I put business and personal
transactions in the same file. I used Money's classification feature (like
MD tags) extensively and it worked (and works) so well that anything else is
unsatisfactory. As far as I can tell, my choices are either MD, Quicken or
Money -- although I haven't tried KMyMoney yet. I would easily pay $300 or
more for MoneyDance if it at least matched MS Money feature for feature and
had a decent interface. I want a Linux personal finance app that is high
quality and I'm willing to pay for it.

If enough other people felt like me, maybe we should put up an open source
bounty to get a solution...
