I can say the migration process wasn't easy, but wasn't too hard. I was able to do it and got it up and running with all my old quicken data. I can't remember the number of years of quicken data, maybe 5-10 years or more. I've probably been with gnucash for about 10 years maybe.
After all is said and done, I'd NEVER go back to quicken. Gnucash has done everything I need (I don't have complicated stocks or investments). I only use it for my personal finances, not a business, so can't comment on that. I'm not familiar with MYM12, so don't know about that migration. Gnucash is a great program and open source, the devs work very hard on keeping it up to date and are making improvements all the time. d On Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 11:04 PM David T. via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > I won't comment on whether the migration process has become simpler over > the years, as I haven't done it in about as long. > > There has been a huge amount of discussion over the years on the question > of migration from Quicken (usually tied either to the beginning of a new > calendar year, or the imposition of a new fee structure by Intuit). > > A search of the mailing list archives will turn these up. > > Additionally, the wiki includes a summary of many of the points that have > been raised on the topic. > wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Importing.2FExporting_Data > > I can't comment on the ease of migration from the other application, but I > can say that the strict enforcement of double entry accounting in gnucash > causes most Quicken refugees some discomfort.
