Best Personal Finance Software?

Money Board,
My wife and I just bought a house and am looking for the best personal finance software to manage our budget. I currently just use a very basic excel spreadsheet, but am looking for something less work intensive and easier to manage. I am looking for something that can can connect to all of my account (checking, savings, investments, credit cards, etc)and sort between my assets and liabilities to track my net worth. I also want the monthly tracking capability that will sort all my expenses on a monthly budget against a set budget
I have downloaded and experimented with two free programs: GnuCash and AceMoney Lite. GnuCash has the some of the capabilities I am looking for but is not very user friendly. Acemoney Lite is very user friendly but you can only add two accounts before upgrading (costs $40 for a lifetime license). It has a mobile access but only compatible with windows phone, not IPhone.
I have heard Quickens is good but do not want to take the plunge and buy if there is something better. What does the wise money gurus on this board use? Thanks in advance.

I've been using it for a few years, but I actually just started using it to set up budget stuff (monthly budgets, car savings, retirment savings etc) and I really find it very useful.

another option is Yodlee Money Manager. Yodlee does a better job of updating my account info for some reason.

I use Quicken. It's the best of the bunch if you take the time to really learn how to use it.
Mint is now owned by Quicken, I imagine the two products will look more and more alike over time.
You Need a Budget is supposedly the best budget software around (Quicken is famously weak in this area) but I don't use it myself. It focuses on budgets though, it isn't really a money management package.
