GNUCash has a Quicken-like mode and can read quicken formatted files, but it does do double-entry accounting too. I use and like Kompozer and SQLedger, they're both good programs. SQLedger is a bit of work to get going though and lacks some online banking features Quickbooks has. These two things make it a hard sell to clients who use Quickbooks. Hence, my angst.
