I don't think so.

Well, that kind of depends, doesn't it? :-)

I don't think it's going to blow you away, but it does do pretty much what it sets out to. One problem that makes it somewhat less useful than it could be, is that it picks up the final balance on your Quicken accounts as the balance. In my case that's never the right number because of reoccurring payments in the future that Quicken has already posted.

On the other hand, it fairly convenient if you want to record your spending as you go and later upload them into Quicken.

It also works with Expensable, but the fields don't map too well, so you have to do a fair amount of fixup after you transfer.
