If you can wait or are still looking when they release it, give GnuCash
another try later this year.  They're about to release a very significant
version bump (prepping for GC2).  I've been using GC1.x for a couple of
years, and actually enjoy it, and have been monitoring their mailing list for
many months now in anticipation of GC2 pre-releases.

GC1.x is definitely usable and I personally like the interface, FWIW, for
others who are also looking for finance software.

The largest hurdle for a newbie (IMHO) is to get used to Double Entry (if you
choose to use it, which I highly recommend).
