>From my experience with Gnumeric, it seems to pretty much an Excel 
replacement - a worthwhile thing if that's what you need, but not 
addressing the same problem as Quicken. It also has a whole lot of 
dependencies on gnome stuff, which can make the build kind of pokey (and 
bloated) if you're not already running gnome.
