GnuCash only imports ancient quicken formats. The new Quicken formats (since about 2015) are not importable. I'd love to, but I can't restart a 32-year quicken file, so they got me. Plus I think the UI for GnuCash isn't as smooth as quicken (w.r.t. categories and accounts, they all blend together in a weird way, IMHO).
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoI was going to say that maybe getting off a product owned by Intuit would be enough motivation but apparently Quicken has not been owned by Intuit since 2016! I had the same reaction as I did when I discovered that RAM pickups are no longer owned by Dodge.

- danachow 4y agoDodge hasn’t been an independent entity since 1928 and Dodge and RAM are still part of Stellantis (the thing that Chrysler morphed into). RAM truck VINs still to this day use the same Dodge manufacturing code and RAM trucks supply chain didn’t change, so this just seems like an internal rebranding. It’s not like Mazda or Volvo with Ford or something.
- UncleEntity 4y ago> I'd love to, but I can't restart a 32-year quicken file, so they got me. GnuCash is open source and this is hacker news… They don’t have some sort of exportable file format that both quicken and gnucash can understand? Which, of course, doesn’t help with the UI issues.
- gotaquestion 4y agoYou can export QXF and QMTF (and CSV) but the online QXF converters seem dubious... (not QFX, that's different). Although you have inspired me to spend some time examining the formats.
