Similar here: I'm down under: Still maintaining my companies (not 
actively trading these days, but managing the capital and expenses 
associated with that) in a MYOB file. My personal stuff is in GC.

My MYOB program is 15 years old: Not cloud based.... MYOB have NOT 
updated their token/verification with Microsoft, so it wont even open on 
Win10, I had to trawl the net to find and write a script that bypasses 
the 'security check'... It's 50/50 whether it's even usable when it 
opens, it gets tripped up verifying the data of the file.... meaning a 
system reboot. I'm not joking when I say it's easily 5+minutes from 
turning computer on to being able to use by MYOB file. A complete joke.

For my personal stuff I use Mageia Linux... GC is installed from the 
repo's... and it just works. Hell, the data file is even stored on my 
Samba server on another computer... and it just works. Yes, it's very 
different from MYOB, especially in cost entry; But I can honestly import 
and reconcile data faster than MYOB can even open it's data file... Yes, 
it's that bad.

In fact, this year I intend to move my company finances across to GC. My 
blood pressure can't cope with that MYOB circus much longer.
