Many years ago I left Quicken behind, and indeed my books needed a lot
of work before they were accurate. About 10 years later I was still
reorganising things because I needed more information / better
subcategories and so on.

I don't think that an easier way of selecting and moving transactions
makes that much difference. The exit from Quicken is troublesome
because the program doesn't do real accounting, and it is too easy to
put debits where credits should be. I had to check each transaction
individually, and my experience tells me that being able to bulk move
transactions after export from Quicken isn't going to be a way to
produce accurate books.

Secondly
Leaving Quicken is a once only thing. I'd rather the sparse developer
time was spent on improving stuff we are all going to use repetitively.
