I'm a very satisfied MoneyDance user, having used it for the past two 
years to track my finances.  Like Rick said, for the most part, if your 
bank offers electronic access for quicken, you can get it to work in 
Moneydance.  However, it's not obvious for every bank.  I've had no 
problem getting my NetBank, Discover, Citi, and Chase accounts working, 
but PNC is a devilish nightmare that never has worked properly.

The biggest issue you'll have with MoneyDance is getting support from 
the bank for when you have problems.   In that respect, it's a lot like 
Linux, it works with most things, but you'll have a horrible time trying 
to get support.
