I've been using Dollars and Sense for a while, and like it pretty well.  
Data entry (what you spend most of your time doing) is fast and easy --
you can do it with the keyboard or mouse.  It could stand improvement in 
reports and charts (especially the lack of a "Report of all 
Transactions").

I tried MYM, lured by its feature list.  I stopped using it because (in
priority order):
  -- it's SLOW on a Plus
  -- transaction data entry is awkward (you have to go from the mouse to
        the keyboard and back several times during a transaction)
  -- stock data entry is very awkward
  -- The tax estimator isn't as complete as I hoped

I'm currently doing tax stuff by importing a Dollars and Sense report
into my Excel tax spreadsheets, and that seems to work okay.
