[ale] Linux-based financial tools?

[James Taylor]

I use Moneydance. It's java based and runs on linux, mac and even
windows. There's a client for iphone and kludge for android that works.
It's not free, but has been well worth the 40-50 bucks I've spent on
it.
May not meet your needs, but does what I need it to do.

What Linux-based tools do you use to manage bank, brokerage, and other
financial
accounts?

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

Everything else I do is done on non-Windows systems.
Ideas?
