Apologize if this comes out in a negative way (not intended), but as the user group grows here and I continue to read the feature requests the more nervous I get about the future path of Moneywell. Seems many people are looking for an exact Quicken replacement that does all there accounting for them and losing sight of the main goal of Moneywell (Kevin correct me if I'm wrong).
I switched to Moneywell to control my spending (cash flow) - not to be an all purpose accounting tool. I guess when I read some (not all) of the feature requests (i.e. Sales Tax) I fear that MW will morph into another piece of software where too many features will ruin its simplicity. Just voicing my concern and hope this will not spark a "thread battle". Just my 2 cents...
