At a crossroad

Comments for the last post had extended beyond ~200, so starting a new thread.  The theme de jour in recent discussion is that support for ofx is fading quick, and how it impacts the continued use of Money.  It's not an easy decision if, like me, you have decades of transactions in Money and generally find it to be easy, functional and super reliable.

Being a long time Discover user, I was recently pushed to "do something", which led to writing a csv-2-ofx converter while also doing a bit of custom scripting to migrate my entire Money history into Excel as a "plan B".  While both paths proved successful, I can say with certainty that tracking things in a spreadsheet doesn't match the double-entry accounting of Money and the built-in checks & balances it provides.  Not close, really.  The benefit it offers, though, is flexibility for viewing/analyzing the data to your hearts content (for those who like numbers and spreadsheets, that is).  There's also the obvious benefit of using supported software with a large user base, vs a very small (and ever shrinking) pool of ardent MS-Money users like ourselves ;)

That said... this is really just a new post for comments, should there be any.
