Superior? Nah. Maybe cheaper, easier to use (very debatable) in some peoples
eyes.

I've been using D & $ since about 1985. It is very full featured and full of
reporting capabilities (pie charts, bar charts, trends etc.). It is likely
that it takes more to learn its features than MacMoney.

One thing I like a lot is you can create your accounts in an hierarchy. I've
created my hierarchy to line up with all the tax forms I have to fill out and
all the subtotals get copied straight over. That takes care of half of my tax
woes.

D&$ is also really easy in the transition from one year to the next because it
can keep two years around.

AND ONE MORE THING: My Dad is bigger than your Dad! :-}
