About 2 years ago, when I first purchased my Mac, I tried Quicken and was
very disappointed.  The version I had was only a single checkbook
register, nothing else.  No capability for credit cards, investments,
loans, or anything else unless you made a separate file.  I then tried
MYM and was very pleased.

Based on my experience, I recommended MYM to my sister to use on her PC. 
BAD MOVE.  She had sever problems, when I visited her, I tried to use it
and found that it was very difficult to use.  The problems were a more
than just the interface (graphical vs text). She picked up a copy of
Quicken and really liked it.

Based on that experience, when my son-in-law needed a personal finance
program for his PC, I picked up a copy of Quicken for him, helped set it
up, and I was impressed.

Based on my experience (which is limited and based on data that is more
than 12 months old), I would suggest Quicken on a PC and MYM for the Mac.
