I used MacMoney for about two years, but switched to Quicken about
a year ago.

The MacMoney interface just got to me in the end.  It's very modal:
you can't have more than one account open at a time, and the
windows are fixed size.  There was also this annoying memory-saving
'feature' which loads a set number of records into memory at any
one time and you have to page through the sets by hitting a
next/previous button (in addition to the scroll bar).  All in all,
it worked, but the interface definately showed that it was designed
quite a few years ago when all Macintoshes had 9" screens and
little memory.
