I moved from iBank 2 to Moneydance 2008 after a period of parallel running, and am liking it quite a bit, even compared to iBank 3. It's not as ugly as it used to be, it is feature rich with good reporting, and is very stable. I've had to say goodbye to iBank for now, but glad I've found Moneydance.

I stopped using iBank 2 once both iBank 3 and MoneyDance 2008 came out and the choice was to pay a hefty upgrade fee or use something else for similar price. I found the changes for iBank 3 to be bells and whistles (like coverflow), and still doesn't have even rudimentary graphs. Moneydance's reporting and graphs makes it much more valuable to me. Goodbye iBank (for now).

I am leaving Quicken after 10 years b/c this app, though still not completely polished, is so much easier to use. The killer feature for me vs the competitors I looked at is iBank 3's direct download from banks and card issuers. There are some interface issues -- for instance, dealing with categories is not as easy as looking at accounts -- but overall this is looking really good.

Unfortunately, the developer has chosen to release this as two different apps rather than one app with different version streams. Nevertheless, it is the best web slide making app I've found for quick fire uses. A bunch of newspapers use this on the multimedia sections of their websites.

It doesn't work at all with my w850i.

Aperture does now support the LX2, as noted on http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html

One problem with aperture is that camera raw support apparently has to be included with OSX updates, not aperture updates, as OSX just inherits the knowledge. It took 6+ months for my Leica M8 to be included. Maybe this will change in subsequent releases.

1.5.3 is much faster than 1.5.0, which in turn was much faster than 1.0. It runs plenty quick for me these days.

Pardon me, as jbsnyder mentioned I was talking about RAW file support for the LX2. As of 1.5 I believe the LX2 is supported which is nice and works well.

It had nothing to do with having a card reader. Yes, clintob, having a card reader IS much faster as I'm well aware. Thanks.

Aperture FTW!

Lightroom seems clearly ahead of Aperture in this survey:
Lightroom's usage among Mac-based pros is still nearly double that of Aperture (26.6% vs. 14.3%).

2.1 is very very good
