I've been looking for a replacement to Quicken since ... 1989. Haven't found<br>
anything except simple leger-type stuff. Tried beancounter for a few months,<br>
but went back to quicken and their mandated every-3 yr upgrade/downgrade cycles.<br>
Since 2013, getting Quicken to run acceptably under WINE hasn't worked for me<br>
either. It is one of the last 4 things I cannot accomplish on Linux, sadly.<br>
* Quicken<br>
* Video editing with EDL cuts that can be manually validated efficiently; there<br>
are many video editors, but NONE, ZERO, NADA support EDL. VideoRedo is the tool<br>
to be replaced.<br>
* MS-Visio (cough - nothing is close and the 2003 version hasn't been improved,<br>
IMHO)<br>
* Presentation broadcasting/captures - OBS isn't stable on Linux, IME. Works<br>
great on Windows for some reason.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Check Big Blue Button. they presented at ALE once.
