10 reasons Quickbooks is evil

1. 15% of the dashboard space of my company is dedicated to getting me to spend more money with Quickbooks instead of forecasting profits like it should
2. Often when I write a check it prompts me to buy Quicken checks
3. My email box gets spammed from Quicken
4. They offered me 20 key tips every business should know. Click on the link and I have to buy something to get the tips. I already spent hundreds of dollars with these people. Are they withholding information that could help me be successful?
5. Every year it gets more complicated without getting better
6. It costs a fortune compared to Peachtree, but Peachtree makes more sense to my CPA
7. When listing the reasons to upgrade to 2008 quickbooks they failed to mention my current software can actually do the same thing
8. There’s no easy way to get the clients PO number and my invoice number to appear on the same line when I print a statement, I have to make a special customer remark to do it. How does it benefit me not revealing PO numbers on a statement. Don’t AP people pay the vendors first when there are no questions?
9. Everything is proprietary, it doesn’t play well with other children.
10. Quickbooks makes it easier to use a payroll service than pay employees through their software.
