I received TaxCut a couple of days ago. Did some trial
runs on my anticipated taxes.  So far, I like it
better than MacInTax (which I used last year for the
first time; never used any tax prep software before
that).

However, I managed to crash the thing, and can
repeat the crash at will. Didn't lose any data though.

I think it still needs some work -- for instance, there
is a reference in one of the help windows to a Self vs.
Spouse checkbox at the top of form SE. But no such checkbox
exists. I couldn't get TaxCut to change the form to refer
to her rather than me. I had to create a new form SE.

It recalculates the whole tax return even when nothing
has been changed, under some circumstances. Like when you
ask for the summary of the return.  However, MacInTax didn't
have a summary that I can recall, and I really like having the
summary.

Not all features are implemented in the preview version, which
is what is available now.

Despite all this, I like it better than MacInTax. Cheaper,
too (I got the 19.95 intro offer, extra 10 or 15 for the preview
version).
