QuickBooks proper is nasty, but one very compelling reason many businesses use it is that you can hand over your "QuickBooks file" to almost any accounting firm; they can do your taxes or solve an accounting problem. This is hugely valuable for companies like mine that don't have full time accountants but do have an office manager that does bookkeeping. I wish this company the best of luck, but I'm not sure how much room their is between firms that are outgrowing spreadsheets but don't yet need something a big accounting firm will also use.
