This is the primary "missing piece" for me, at least in terms of a home, desktop system. While there are some personal finance programs available such as Gnucash etc, there is nothing remotely as good as Quicken. And I'm certainly not interested in running an older version of Quicken with Wine. I have gotten used to such things as paying bills on line, downloading my credit card statement, and being able to tie all my finances (investments, mortgage, credit, checking etc) together seemlessly in one software package. There was some talk (rumors) a few weeks ago about Intuit porting Quicken over to Linux, but Intuit announced shortly thereafter that they have no such plans, at least as of yet. FWIW, I am planning on writing to them, urging them to consider a Linux version...at least to let them know there is some interest.
