Current Financial Software Solution

At this point, I have given up on most of the major players in the financial software world. I am currently using jGnash2 and it is working ok. I do miss the nice, clean reports and trends that I can see in Mint, Quicken, Yodlee, etc. I did try using AceMoney for the free trial period. While it was nice in some ways, I found the reporting to be almost useless.

jGnash2 has a few things I like. First, I can enter a lot of register entries without using my mouse much. They have some clever keyboard shortcuts that can really make life easiser. Second, the reports (while somewhat primitive) do give me what I want. Third, the stock quote integration is pretty good, and I don't have to think about it too much. I am manually managing everything now, so all the concerns about the import from investment institutions do not exist. 

Strangely enough, the last two things I like are also things I don't like. I'd love to have better reporting and useful imports from financial institutions. It's just that no one seems to provide that very well.

For now, I am sticking to jGnash. The only option I'm also looking at is KMyMoney. The last time I tried it, it crashed a lot on Windows. There's an update, so I might give it another whirl.
