I've been using Dollars and Sense for a while, and like it pretty well.
Data entry (what you spend most of your time doing) is fast and easy --
you can do it with the keyboard or mouse. It could stand improvement in
reports and charts (especially the lack of a "Report of all
Transactions").
I tried MYM, lured by its feature list. I stopped using it because (in
priority order):
-- it's SLOW on a Plus
-- transaction data entry is awkward (you have to go from the mouse to
the keyboard and back several times during a transaction)
-- stock data entry is very awkward
-- The tax estimator isn't as complete as I hoped
I'm currently doing tax stuff by importing a Dollars and Sense report
into my Excel tax spreadsheets, and that seems to work okay.
