But the good news is that if you take a step back and look at Quicken Mac today versus seven years ago, or even three years ago, you can appreciate that a huge amount of progress actually has been achieved. That's the bad news - that there are still missing features, and that development of new features progresses slowly. (I always love when some perturbed user posts "this is simple a high school student could do this in half a day!" ) (Quicken CEO Eric Dunn said he thought relative parity between Quicken Windows and Quicken Mac might take about more two years - back in 2016!) I'm assuming the developers are reasonably competent at their job, and I think this just illustrates that Quicken is a surprisingly complex program, and it is hard and slow work to expand its functionality without breaking existing functionality. But the process has gone much slower than we customers anticipated, and I believe much slower than the development and management teams at Quicken anticipated. It had gaping holes in 2014, and over the past 7 years, many of them have been plugged or shrunk in size. Quicken Mac was re-launched as an all new coding effort in 2014 after the legacy program hit multiple dead-ends with the evolution of the Mac operating system.
