Hmmm, while I agree with you, my past experience with Quicken doing 
this automagically was that the computation was slightly off when 
compared to the what the bank said I owed on my statement.  Usually 
is was only a penny one way or the other, but it still messed things 
up.

While I agree it's a great feature, and am eagerly awaiting it, I'd 
consider recurring transactions a priority, since it's almost a 
pre-requisite for this feature :)
