Quicken support of the Mac has always been hap hazard even to the point of incompatibility of data files between Mac versions and a chronic data incompatibility between Quicken for Mac and Quicken for PC. At one point several years ago, Quicken was about the only credible checkbook/accounting product for the Mac, but that is not the case today. The App Store catalogs a number of products under the heading of "accounting", "Checkbook", or "Finance" and ranging from the ver simplest of checkbook accounting systems to full blown double entry accounting systems. Some of these even do a pretty fair job of importing Quicken files so you don't have to start from scratch.
The point is, why beat the Quicken horse to death and limit system growth in other areas when there are applications such as Account Edge, iBank, Moneydance and 60 or 70 other well supported fully Mac compatible applications that can take its place. Granted there will be a learning curve, but better that now than waiting until there is no other option. To me the hardest part of switching would be choosing among all of the possible alternatives.
By-the-way, some of these apps have iOS versions so your financial data is available on your iPhone and iPad as well as your Mac.
