My account balances are in sync and have been since I started about 15 months ago happily importing my bank downloads every 2 weeks. Honestly it’s never been an issue for me.

That's what's keeping me from making the jump from Quicken. Thank you. Have you been comfortable with YNAB’s lack of inherent reconciliation feature?

The bottom line is you are right there is nothing that seems to hit it all, but the more and more I interact with people I see why no one has nailed it, because we all want something slightly different.

I really like the envelopes method and it's my number one criteria when looking to settle on a app. I still haven't found an app that I feel totally comfortable with. I like the simplicity of YNAB, the convenience of Mvelopes, and the thoroughness of Quicken 2010, but I'm looking for something with envelope system and a good cashflow calendar to when income/expenses effect my balance. This is what YNAB seems to lack until you are a month ahead in the buffer. Have you reviewed http://www.weeklyenvelope.com or http://www.pocketsmith.com yet. I like some of the cashflow forecasting features in them, that seem to be missing from other products. I have tried just about every Mac, PC, and web-based personal finance and budgeting programs.
