GNUCash is headed for its 1.8 release and I have run the beta. It handles OFX 
files now and qif import has worked for some time. It's turning into a very 
polished product. Some people will be bothered by the fact that they handle 
accounting differently from Quicken and Money. But the GNUCash approach is 
actually more business-like. And speaking of business, it also has functions 
for small business. My only beef is that the program now has more obscure 
dependencies than any other program I have run on Linux. If you don't run 
Gnome, it's almost more trouble than it's worth.
