Strangely enough, I haven't seen the usual glut of posts asking when Quicken 2011 will be released. I'm not going to ask that question, as I'm a yearly upgrader, and I know it'll probably be out sometime in September.
This will be the first Quicken release since Aaron Patzer joined Intuit and took the reigns of the Quicken product. I just read Patzer's short bio on Wikipedia, which says in part, "According to Patzer, he got the inspiration for Mint.com in late 2005 after being frustrated with how difficult it was to use the Intuit Quicken product." The reference for this comment can be found at:
Personally, I've never found Quicken difficult to use. Although I haven't looked at Mint recently, I didn't think much of it last time I gave it a try.
